Hi Alec, I decided to see what it would take to support the current
mainline RTAI (Vulcano, aka 5.0-test1) in LinuxCNC, and surprisingly it
wasn't that hard.  See the rtai-5 branch on git.linuxcnc.org for details:


http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/rtai-5


On the RTAI side, i'm building newlib's libm from source as part of the
RTAI build.  You can see the details of that here:

I know the RTAI dev community is pretty fractured at the moment (for
various reasons), and that's a bummer.  You know RTAI better than most
any of us, what are your thoughts on this approach?
