OK, but we are already in month 2, week 1 on beta. As some point, we
have to decide we are not going to do any more platform tweeking and
move on to a release. If they really wanted their platform supported,
they should have shown up on September.

I am loosing tolerance for these last-minute changes. We should not
hold up release to support some obscure platform. I don't think we want
another 4 month beta!
