I've been in touch with Bruce about this; I have a nice 1U 60 MHz 68060
system with fast disks and lots of memory which I've offered up for
development. As soon as I can find a place to colocate it, I want to get
Bruce a chroot or two in there to get soft float stuff working in current
and release and then get the changes committed. I'll even use that machine
to build soft float binary packages.

Then help would be welcome if we're also going to be playing in MI parts
of the source tree. Maybe it's time to ask ISC again if they'll give this
machine a home...

Anyone who would like to help: please email me so we can set up accounts
on this machine.
