Hi Tim,

Seeing as how integral Crochet is to building FreeBSD/ARM, I was just =
curious what the roadmap for it is.  Is it going to enter the FreeBSD =
tree as an additional build tool, or is there some plan to eventually =
have =E2=80=9Cmake release=E2=80=9D simply cross-build for the various =
ARM platforms with the Crochet arguments / build options being subsumed =
into that, or=E2=80=A6 ?

I think FreeBSD/ARM is pretty strategic for FreeBSD, obviously, so =
anything which makes it more of a first-class citizen can=E2=80=99t be =
anything but a good thing, no?

Thanks,

- Jordan
