It's my impression that different people are working individually on private copies of a pkgutils port in C. Perhaps setting up a temporary repository could unite the forces?
But then how could one person hijack the project and win recognition? o_O
An attempt to form a baseline C design which was to be openly discussed from day one, rather than publicly previewed once in beta stages of implementation, was already put forth and immediately rejected. What exactly are you talking about? Simone hasn't published any code so far (at least not to my knowledge). The attribute stuff is explicitely marked as not being meant to be used in the final implentation but to show how attributes could work (sidenote: attributes is a concept we've been talking about since CRUXCon 2004).
The only person who has so far posted code and suggested it to be used for future pkgutils was you (Jay) [1], and it hardly qualifies as an implementation in beta stages since it was just a c header file. When I wanted to discuss it and dared to question your approach to use a C header as starting point for a _design_ discussion, you got offended ("..forget i posted it. you do it.") and figured it would be a good idea to attack my coding efforts ("but i've seen enough of your code to say with confidence that you do not always execute planning strategy"). Now this... what are you trying to achieve?
