Please work on it before we cut 1.6.
There is no reason why we shouldn't try to move a port to ELF.
In fact it would be easier for the release, when all m68k ports switch to ELF.
Ok, not all m68k ports will switch in time for 1.6 to ELF, but we should try
to switch as many as possible.

I can offer my help to test ELF snapshots on an old installation (1.3I), which
would otherwise stay with that version till we switch to ELF.
