How can Minix 3 be so small

There can't be any valid comparison between L4 and minix because the IPC
mechanisms on Minix are obscenely crippled. They managed to wrestle
defeat out of the jaws of a triumphant victory...  =((((

The problem with L4 on the other hand is that it doesn't have an
operating system wrapped around it in order to make it usable... I have
a number of earth-shaking projects that I want to develop but can't for
lack of a reasonably good IPC mechanism and no way to develop for L4 for
reason of it's obfuscated system libraries and no development
environment. =(((

Got a counterexample of an installable and usable L4 development system?
