	It's lua based. Looks great according to the screenshots (and =
probably in better shape than the proposed prototype by folks with =
pc-sysinstall with the web interface), but it ain't gonna happen unless =
core/other folks central to the project agree to adding another =
interpreted language in to base. I doubt that it would be a drop in =
place working prototype though given that geom is a lot different =
between DragonFlyBSD and FreeBSD.
	Feel free to prove me wrong :).
