When I talked to one of the techs working on the wedge months ago, they told
me that they had FFS running now.  I wouldn't think that the few revisions
on 1.3 have made it incompatible.  So, if they had FFS working a few months
ago, I would think that it would run when 1.3 is released (god knows when.)
