Its probably binary data, but one could write a converter from a
general form to the hosts form and run that upon install.
As of now I have the following progress:
i386: 121520
alpha: 58720
m68k: 16570
The Alpha was a bit late in starting the compile, had to download more
pdates there. But rouchly they are all working the same amount of
time. Suprisingly the alpha seems slow, should be equla to my i386 or
faster.
How far up do the numbers have to go?
