I would like to try your vdev. I plan to use a diskless embeded 
powerpc I have available for devel. I prefer that to using quemu and I 
want to keep my laptop functional h24.

     I would do it in an OS built from scratch with only 3 components: 
kernel version 2.6.29, busybox and vdev. Therefore I would like to 
compile vdev and link it statically from the source. Does it seem feasible?
