</div>You need to decide for yourself if it is worth your time but<br>
judging by the mailing lists there seems to be at least some<br>
demand for it. If you want to get an estimate you might want to<br>
survey on oi-discuss since there will be more potential end-users<br>
there and actually just today somebody was asking for the state<br>
of SPARC support.<br>
