   Please do!  I think you will be able to test this better than we could,
   since you seems to have the environment up and running on several
   hosts.  I'll try to do code review, but don't let that stop you from
   pushing things into the repository...

   ...within reason, I still think we should try to get a release out ASAP.
   I'll take a look at the latest platform-testers report, but we may
   simply declare that we aren't portable to some systems.

I think that is fine, we have added support to some systems, and can
continue that work after release.  But I think it would be good to
fully support the systems that we say we support.
