Not completely. HS is in much better shape than win32 was when it was
pulled from 7.4...the build system wasn't even in place yet nor any of
the major challenges solved (like fork/exec).
HS is working very well (Simon's ongoing work aside). I am pretty
confident based on my personal testing that it would represent the
project well if committed today.
