I'm currently working on getting gvinum a bit up to date to support the old
vinum features, but I still have some commands to implement before it's
complete. A lot of this is only in perforce right now, until someone can commit
it for me. 

Gvinum is not just a software-raid tool. It's a volume manager, and should be
updated to support more advanced volume-manager features. Right now it maintains
it's own raid 0,1 and 5 implementations, and this kind of duplicates maintanance
a bit. Rewriting gvinum to use the new geom classes would be nice, but it's
a lot of work.
