[Tinyos-alliance] Boomerang (sentilla/moteiv)

[Matt Welsh]

In the short term they should probably throw it on sourceforge so  
folks can keep maintaining it, but over time I assume that  the major  
parts of Boomerang that folks find useful should be folded into  
TinyOS over time (assuming the license permits this).
