	NetBSD/arc (when it settles) would make a good base for anyone
	interested in porting to the earlier boxes :)

	Persumably if the endianness is the biggest issue then it _should_
	be a reasonably easy port - some machines come with disks that
	can convert to little endian, and at the worst case the MIPS
	tree should be compilable big-endian...

	What other obstacles would there be?
