I see... the problem here is that if you wait for Brian to install it into
hamm, then you will be one day behind with it.... And the i386 binary
could probably be rejected just because of this ... and removed from hamm.
It could be easier to accept it if already both the binaries were sitting
in incoming.

Hmm... then it is possible you won't have time to compile all the things
before release (xfree seems a bit large)... perhaps the m68k release
(and cd image) should be a couple of days after the i386 ?
