Looking forward to your patches :-)

(Seriously, when we dropped 80386 support there was some discussion of
this, and the conclusion was that if anyone wanted to we could add a
separate "80386" port. Nobody's taken it up, but the opportunity's
there. If you're feeling frisky you might want to try to find a
working Sun 386i or one of those Sequent multiprocessors...)
