I do not provide a binary, that must have been built by somebody else.
I was just compiling and testing for the sake of PPC! (I was further
motivated by the PowerProgressCommunity and their plans for PPC machines
https://www.powerprogress.org)

I cannot do a test build now because my iBook G4 is "out of order",
until we find a way to reinstall it. I hoped Adrian could spin out a new
ISO, otherwise I need some help or magic to boot the "bad" install the
current one creates. Right now I am just working on the Intel-side and
porting back several bugfixes from FF.
