Cross-platform releases
Hi! This is just a heads up for anyone interested that I have just started working on a cross-platform "make release" issue so that "make release TARGET_ARCH=alpha" on an i386 box would produce a working Alpha release. The next task will be to support cross-branch "make releases" so that a 4.x box could be used to produce a 5.0 snapshot. Combined together, that would give me an ability to test my 5.0 changes with "make release" on a fast 2x1GHz box that runs -STABLE. Supporting non-root "make release"s might be a good idea too.
