Hey all,
Just curious. I wrote an email a while back about XPTCALL. Without it ported
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xpcom/) the LinuxPPC platform can't use the
recent version of Mozilla (after M5???). I have written to LinuxPPC.com,
LinuxPPC.org a couple of other mailling lists and to the guys who had kinda
said they would do it.
Nobody has really replied or even made much noise about it.
I can't understand how this port hasn't been done already by someone... anyone,
with some experience.
My question/suggestion is this. Is anyone out there, or does anyone know
anyone (maybe a guy at TerraSoft) who could do this port? I feel this will
become more and more important. I can see Beta 1 coming out and lots of
Linux on PPC users saying "what the fuck is going on here?"...

Dan? I don't know if this shit is "spare time" kinda work, but would be cool
if you could show us how much you really rock and flick off a port ;)
Thanks all
Ev.
