Great!  I've set you up as a gcl developer.   Welcome to the project! 

I've noticed that you have substantial C and Linux skills.  In
addition to the projects you're most interested in, it would be very
nice if you had access to a non-x86 Linux box and could help me on
getting a second Linux port working.  As you have time and interest --
I feel its most important to do what *you* value the most, as its
probably what many users want too.

Great!  Thanks for th patch!  It will be applied shortly.

Is he still interested in helping too?
