FWIW, there are already a few VMS to *NIX projects out there.  There
was one company that specialized in moving VMS apps to UNIX (with
a primary focus on AIX).

As I've probably previously mentioned, my old company used to make its
living doing VMS-on-UNIX at an application level.  It wasn't free
software but Digital (aka, Compaq, aka HP) used to like us.

However, I'm aware of at least two free software projects which have
some VMS-on-UNIX components.  I don't have their URLs handy, though.
They could be dead now, I guess.
