Rick and David.

First many thanks for taking the time and effort needed to get ooRexx to
the state it is in now; the Rexx community is grateful, and we wish you
both the best of luck in whatever directions y'all decide to go.

David, does this mean that you no longer need the two guests here for
building ooRexx on z/Linux?

Have a good one, too.
