I'll try to do some digging this weekend and try to come up with a solid
list of the important differences.  There aren't a lot of differences, so
it shouldn't be such a big job.

I think an appendix with an entry for each port should be just fine.  Of
course, I'm not qualified to comment on most ports, but, if there's an entry
for one port in place, you may get offers for info on others.
