Sounds good to me...
The makefile changes are more than trivial (18 new and/or changed files)
and the build environment would have to be tested on supported platforms
to make sure nothing got broken. There are a few changes to the C code
(28 new and/or changed files) and H files (9 new and/or changed files). So
far.... :-)

Sometimes doing a new port finds problems that are not noticed otherwise.
I'll just forge ahead with the OS/2 stuff and get patches ready for a post
8.0.0 GA
