Well, someone's contacted me about using it so I'll let them decide where
they think it should go and what to do with it. As far as I'm concerned,
you can do what you want with it. It's not going to be a mainstream part
of FreeBSD so if I or someone else continue to work on it then it will be
as an independant project, much like any other add-in functionality and
can probably be "ported" when it's ready for use.
It's not actually going anywhere anyway, since it'll always be available
in the Attic should someone feel a burning desire to look at the code.
