It seemed very improbable that someone in isolation could undertake such
a task, but FWIW, someone in Atlanta told me the guy in question was not
a perl script after all ... :-)
I recall all this news are more than a month old...which OTOH is not too
much, but there was a later posting that suggested another thing: I am
unable to find it in FreeBSD-SMP (I sometimes visit those lists using
egroups), but I THINK it was phk, while asking people not to whine about
Matt Dillon's lack-of commit privs, that he mentioned that the 680xx
effort was real.
I don't care much about this particular port, but seeing FreeBSD on
another platform (any platform) is always a good thing.
cheers,
Pedro.
