Whoa! Are we getting a 'real war'(tm)? :-)
Perhaps 'twere better if you add a smiley next time you post something
like this, otherwise it could be mistaken for mudslingin'. ;-)

About the name: I think any form of generalized name (i.e. a name
_not_ speciying a specific system or processor) is unfit for both,
as long as there isn't a 68k version (and 386 of course, but that
doesn't count as much... to me :-)) with full source-level & system
call compatibility. If possible with largely the same sources.

Greetings, Bert
