ack ... I volunteered for this, as did Wouter IIRC.

I'd like to keep that option, at least to build a release of our own
design (maybe leaving out some tough stuff; at the very least something
you can install and then work from).

I was going to pester you about the necessary prerequisites anyway (like
where to run the testing scripts, ftp-master accounts etc.).
I'll probably ask for someone else to take over buildd administration for
me, and I hope to have Atari kernel hacking sorted shortly.
