Its nice to know that this makes porting somewhat easier. But I note that you
still refer to versions on each platform as a "port", which was my point
entirely. There is no such thing as "a VxWorks port". There is a 68K VxWorks
port, a PPC VxWorks port, etc.
What I would need is a PC-clone VxWorks port, which I note isn't in your list.
So no, I really wasn't that wrong at all.
