Yeah, I'm somewhat familiar with the process, and there's a number of
hurdles to jump.  It is effectively incorporating a company, under

Matt had started the process some time ago, but it has fallen by the
wayside, to some extent, since there's no immediate need for it.  I don't
know of any larger organization that would directly benefit DragonFly...
