I'm confused what this ASU stack is that you are talking about?  When
I look at the architecture picture on the framework page
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/OpenmokoFramework I don't see ASU. I see
Gtk+ and Qtopia and Enlightenment  (and X11).

So this ASU stack is only used on the Neo and nowhere else? If ASU is
Qtopia or EFL, then I'm not so sure that's true...
