OSKit Mach is not ready for prime time.  It is mentioned in passing on the
web page if I remember correctly, but for now I want the web page to be
limited to what actually works and is available, rather than what will
happen in the future.  I know that we are in a difficult stage of
development, but we have a working system and we have areas where we hack,
and we should not confuse our users about what is what.

BTW, I am right now in the progress to develop the last missing link to make
oskit-mach actually useful (the console server), and when this is done, we
will have a much more prominent section about oskit-mach (which will really
become gnumach eventually) than just how to build it.

Users don't need to find it.  Users should use gnumach.

Thanks,
