That's the original intended purpose, maybe, but that's not waht most of
the Minix hackers out there are using it for. A minix implementation that
ran on top of exec (maybe even as a minix.library, so you could bind Minix
binaries with some minimal startup code and launch them from the CLI) would
be very useful...

Why am I reminded of Pascal?
