I'd actually like to try that out -- a medium complexity design, both my 
standard way and with an OS like Salvo, and then compare the results. It 
may not be so prohibitive as you see it. (But then, I'm one of the 
"commercial types" and at the moment at least can't really afford to do 
this :)

It would be good to be able to compare the effort also, but that's probably 
impossible; once you've done it once (on either platform), the second time 
is going to be much easier.
