Having something to look at (like this new port) as well as having a
*working* add-on infrastructure will really help others. We've for
example some first vax-linux bits ready (but not yet a working glibc due
to a not yet working current GCC). So, "Run, Alexandre, run!" :-)

Oh, and again a great "thanks" to Alexandre: with a complete new port, I
can nicely compare that to what I do have currently to identify missing
pieces!
