Yes, I understand this.  I'd like to apologise to the list for my rant.  If the 
proposals to cut the number of supported architectures goes through it'll be 
possible to support everything soon.  I believe the list is powerpc, AMD64, 
i386 and IA64 (this one could be difficult, any open access machines?).

Thanks,
