Actually, I learned a good bit more about the whole Cell situation this
morning, from the chipset level on up to the 'when will systems get out'
level. The situation is, to say the least, murky, and will be for a while.

However: If we were to put effort into a G5 port, which is cheap to do
(buy a mac!), we'd be ready to rock and roll on the Cell when systems 
become more generally available. 

So, Plan 9 is getting fixed for 64-bit mode, we have a K8 compiler now as 
a template. What do we name the compiler?

Cell C (or cc)? Just joking!

G5 C or gc? I'll stop now.
