I would definitely think about this after OLS is over. Even Kumar also
proposed it long back. Let me see how this can happen.

Thanks Nate for spending time to look into Garrett patches. I am
spending more time for ensuring build/run error-free patches of Yamato
(for the syscalls porting) and some other testcases that are on the
mailing list External/Internal.
                                I would really thank you once again if you can 
look into all the
patches he is sending(i know you are already reviewing his huge Makefile
Infrastructure Patch). He also sent some patches for rectifying the
tst_res() and tst_resm() functions. I think you would be the best person
to judge the correctness of that Patch, as the bulk of that library
Infrastructure came from SGI and you were there in that thick of time. I
am referring to the mails with below headers(archives in sf.net is still
to turn up):

1) [LTP] tst_res(3) not doing as promised?
2) [LTP] [PATCH] Fix for lib/tst_res.c -- fix -m vs non-m reporting
functions
