I think there is a PowerPC discuss list somewhere.  We should use it.

 Then I can follow up with the following bold idea :

   Anything that runs on Solaris x86 or Solaris Sparc must be able to
   run in the PowerPC port in the same manner.

 So that implies a great deal of discussion.



But there will also be a pile of software in the /opt area that provides the
GNU stack as well as software from the Blastwave software stack.
