I thought the Hurd article was the worst one, by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar. MiniRTL
was bearable,  as was the porting thing. POP3 C++ was interesting but
useless. The deadlock detection was by far the most interesting article.

I do think, though, that they can probably assume most readers know what a
regex is, and how to build FSAs / NDFSAs, etc.. (see p.144)

Cheers,

Alex.
