Hi Alasdair,

Happy New Year!  I'm starting to work on this project now, but I forgot 
to mention that this would be on a SPARC 64bit (T2000) architecture. 
Your package is for x86.  What would I need to do to build Userland on 
Sol10/SPARC?  I'm prepared to adapt whatever is needed to get this to work.

Thanks.

	-John
