I bet it won't work.  MINIX is currently in a funny state, somewhere
part way between V7 and P1003.1.  Coherent is probably in a difference
place.  I suspect that programs that work on one won't work on the other
so easily.

Also, the idea of comp.os.minix.code or whatever it may be called if it
passes will be mostly patches, not whole programs.
