Last I heard, it wasn't accepted due to problems with
copyright assignment(some lingering paperwork). I'm
not sure there were any real problems, just a lack
of "someone" to chase down all the nitty gritties.

Breaking all the work done into lots of small patches to
make one patch for each change will not happen I think.

If someone wants to submit a patch and it is accepted,
then that is fine by me, but currently I can't chase this down.

The latest source code is at www.ecosforge.net.

In lieu of somebody stepping up to do the work, it would
be better for athttpd if the outdated copy in the eCos
repository was deleted. Probably better for eCos as well.
