Hi Frank--
...how difficult would it be to get the necessary VM changes for this feature into the main VMs?
It would be easy if the Unix VM build instructions were accurate. :) I wrote a separate message to vm-dev with details. The changes are at [1]. Please feel free to integrate them while I do, please let me know if you get somewhere.
thanks,
-C
