I don't know, but: WARNING: I have learned over the last 5 years that 
vendors consider releasing source code without specs a WAY better way to 
go than releasing specs without source code. In fact, many vendors do 
not differentiate binary from source; they know about disassemblers. 
Once the binary goes out, the feeling is that it could just as easily be 
source.

What a world.
