+    <cfhammar> whats the difference between mach-defpager and defpager?
+    <cfhammar> i'm guessing defpager is a hurdish version that uses libstore
+      but was never finished or something
+    <cfhammar> found an interesting thread about it:
+      http://mirror.libre.fm/hurd/list/msg01232.html
+    <slpz> antrik: an interesting thread, indeed :-)
+    <pochu> slpz: btw is mach-defpager linked statically but not called
+      mach-defpager.static on purpose?
+    <slpz> antrik: also, I can confirm that mach-defpager needs a complete
+      rewrite ;-)
+    <slpz> pochu: I think the original defpager was launched by serverboot
+    <slpz> pochu: that could be the reason to have it static, like ext2fs
+    <slpz> and since there's no need to execute it again during the normal
+      operation of the system, they probably decided to not create a
+      dynamically linked version
+    <slpz> (but I'm just guessing)
+    <slpz> of perhaps they wanted to prevent mach-defpager from the need of
+      reading libraries, since it's used when memory is really scarce (guessing
+      again)
