Well, that's my goal, too - I just have a different definition of "get
it running".  If it doesn't work on ALL configurations, and isn't going
to work on later revs of the OS, it ain't running...

Please do.  And I, for one, will make sure that my name is prominent on
any port I do (as it has been for the ports I've done in the past), so
that you can parcel out the credit as well as the blame.  It's funny - 
the number of words of praise I've gotten for a given port have been
minimal (who thinks to credit the porter, anyhow :-( ), but I do sleep
well at night...
