Bart, you seem to have it backwards.  Support goes into the software, not the
hardware: i.e. it's up to Allen & Stuart to write support into LW, not the other
way around.

    AND, the only reason they haven't is, well, they've been just the
_teensiest_ bit busy porting to four different hardware platforms......  >;^)
