This is mostly done (and I admit should be a lot more done).

The problem is bug #78745.  It is not possible to build the prc-tools
package without using a PalmOS SDK (well, it is but the package is
completely useless as then doesn't contain any target libraries).
However, none of the SDKs I have allow redistribution in any form,
meaning I can't upload the source tarball for the prc-tools package
meaining I can't upload the binary packages either.

I have contacted JohnM at Palm to see what can be done about releasing
a redistributable SDK so that prc-tools could at least go in non-free.
I'm still waiting to hear from him; his page on
<URL:http://www.advogato.org> suggests he may be in New Zealand still
and so possibly without email.
