Great!  About a year ago I started spells for mig, hurd, and gnumach, but
never completed them.  They are in my unfinished-spell grimoire
(http://smgl.sandall.us/sandalle.tar.bz2) if any would like to try them,
update them, and finangle them into a working system.  After we get a
system up running GNU/HURD, we will probably need to create separate
grimoires, hurd-stable, hurd-test, and hurd-devel as some of the packages
will not work in GNU/HURD (we'll have to test to find out which ones).

I have a few (very few) of my notes on http://smgl.sandall.us, under
Projects->GNU/HURD on SMGL.
