I neglected to mention two other open source implementations of HIP that 
were part of the development process-- a team at Ericsson developed a 
HIP for NetBSD implementation, and Andrew McGregor wrote and posted an 
early userspace implementation in Python (PyHIP).  Julien Laganier also 
had one going at some point, if I remember correctly, but I can't find 
artifacts of it today.  So in summary, there were four or five HIP open 
source implementations during the standards development process.
