Talk to Jeffrey Hsu (hsu@freebsd.org).  I've been snowed at work
and all my (now much less) free time has been committed to the
PPC.  I can't reasonably delay the PPC work; it's also loaner
hardware, and it's much closer.

I felt so guilty about the amount of time, I offered to buy the
hardware outright; no response on that yet, though.
