Well, currently its not, xfree86v3 is !m68k. And I don't really want to
build v3 again, it took even longer and due to some weird bug _somwhere_ it
never fully autobuilt (oh, think we have a patch in the sourcedependencies
now).

You mean in the archive? That would be nice. Then I would still have to
upload without xserver-*?
Actually I never checked if the v3 server works with the old libraries, and
it seems nobody else did.

Maybe it works when built without module loader, I would upload that one.
But if it requires more fixing, I'd like to have 10 "fast" machines (fast=
it still takes a day to build) and 5 people to help, please.
Or at least some hints and patches.
