I went ahead and pushed my Git repository onto "Github.com" (kind of
like sourceforge, but sucks less), it was created with git-svn(1) so
you'll see a lot of development history from dsorresso@ and zarzycki@

The "homepage" is here:
http://github.com/rtyler/launchd-for-freebsd/tree/master 
The work i've been doing is in the "testing" branch:
http://github.com/rtyler/launchd-for-freebsd/commits/testing/ 

As it stands right now I've been focusing on getting liblaunch.c to
build and starting to write some tests just to understand how some of
these things are working. The "test cases" are all located in
launchd/src/testcases (ex:
http://github.com/rtyler/launchd-for-freebsd/tree/testing/launchd/src/testcases/liblaunch.c) 

Currently liblaunch.c will build on FreeBSD, but there is a sizable
portion of code that has been ifdef'd out that deals with mach and
intenral launchd messaging.

I'm going to be working on some more stuff tonight, but I just figured
I'd let the list know in case Tsvetomir is feeling like hacking this
weekend :)
