This information really belongs in Chapter 4 "Ports and Packages" of
the Handbook. That whole chapter could use a little work actually,
and you'd be the perfect guy to help improve it! Is there any chance
you can supply a patch to this chapter that adds the information you
desire? Reorganizing some of the rest of the chapter, or turning the
informal Q/A at the end into more formal text wouldn't hurt either. ;)
