Thanks.  I had to write something like this, as I was getting confused
by all the reports, e.g. thinking I'd had a report of it working on
HP-UX 11.00 when in fact I'd had no such thing (I have got one now,
though).

Perhaps.  For the moment, I like having it within emacs-range.

It certainly might help, especially if we can get people to help keep
it up to date.

Cheers,

PS: 4-processor alphas compile Python quite quickly :)
