I'd be willing to help students where I can, but unfortunately I suspect
this isn't a great project. My memory of looking at what was involved
is that you needed to learn a lot about how rtl worked to even
understand what needed to be done much less actually change things and
then test them. That said maybe if we don't tell them its really hard
they'll go and do it and prove me wrong.
