As nobody seems to have done it yet, I thought I'd have a go at a SPARC
(sun4c) port of 3rd ed.  I do have a 2nd ed. license, but I'm a bit worried
about "contaminating" a 3rd ed. port by looking at or incorporating 2nd ed.
source.  Should I be?

Of course, if somebody has already done the port, so much the better...
