Project started in 1998 with Andy Phillips doing the gcc/binutils/initial
kernel, I joined around this time last year and Kenn somewhere in between
Andy and me, so in time about 6 years of life time, in total man months
I'd say much less considering if I average the time I spend working on it
over a full year it comes out about 3-4hrs a week..
