Fair enough - it probably won't get started until July at the earliest
anyway.

I'll look into it over the summer - it may take a while though, because
I'll have to cross-compile from NetBSD, which means building a
cross-compiler and binutils first. Also, it'll have to wait until I've
got my ZIP drive working under NetBSD (so that I can free up some HD
space.)

Presumably, it'll run NetBSD/arm32 then? (It's very stable on my machine
at the mo...)
