I bought some hardware quite some time ago with the purpose of seeing this
done.  It's in the SIPB office at MIT, which is a satisfactory enough place
for it, I suppose (lots of nice people get to use it).  Anyone who can convince
me, however, that he would actually _do_ SMP support, would have a decent
chance of being offered it on long-term loan at the very least; anyone who
_finished_ SMP support would be quite welcome to keep the machine, as a
reward; I've certainly given away a lot of hardware for less reason.

Just a suggestion.
