build.sh -m macppc -x release on my blazing i386 box.

I'll make an ISO of the release available with the X sets if anyone 
wants them, or just the X sets.

XFree86, so 24 bpp works, but scrolling is unaccelerated. It does use a 
few chip features, but not many. Doing a CVS update causes X to eat 
about 40% CPU updating the screen, but it works, which, considering the 
7 year vintage and somewhat proprietary nature of the machine, is still 
impressive.
