In case you're looking for someone to give this a go in production, I
have enough capacity in the hypervisor for another debian machine, an
interest in setting up a domain controller at ad0.colliertech.org, and
enough know-how to build from HEAD.  or trunk.  or master.  or whatever
the cool kids call it these days.

I'm a big fan of all of your work and very much appreciate you putting
so much energy in to such an interesting problem.

Cheers,

C.J.
