I am, in fact, subscribed to the list (and I even have a complete
mailing-list archive dating back to May 1997), but I have not followed
it closely during the few past months.  Now it turns out I should have
(but then again, it wasn't that much work).

I'd be happy to do the merge.  My SF ID is "rotofoil".

I do not have any experience with SF's compile farm and could use some
help in testing.  Unfortunately, I do not have the time to manually
configure and test OpenC++ on each and every architecture and
compiler.  Is there an automated way to try a compilation on all
architectures?

Which architectures need to be considered as ``supported by OpenC++''?

Kind regards,
Michael
