	Guys,

	I have two things to publicly mumble.  First--and this is
	extremely preliminary--with the barest of first tests, gcc42
	seems to be a quantum leap over the default gcc that's in
	6.2.  Especially with -O3 and -funroll-loops.  At least 
	weeks more testings.

	Second, is there anybody to talk to about the ports/packages
	upgrade deal?  Is this on tap for the summer-of-hacking feast, or
	is it up to us?  We can cry, yelp, and complain until the cows
	are *dead*; to no avail.   

	gary
