Comment:

 Please note that #11504 has had a p4 ready for review for weeks (and might
 I note for a rather more important platform than PPC Linux).  All that one
 needs is a review that the spkg is actually correctly formed and works on
 a non-Cygwin box; it has already been reviewed to install Tachyon
 correctly on Cygwin.

 So I'm putting #11504 as a dependency.  If you want to use BDFL
 privileges, I won't complain too much, but it would probably be easier
 just to unpack #11504's spkg and review it quick :)

 I agree with Leif that this needs work for fixing the comment about ppc64,
 which apparently does now work :)   I don't know about the "please
 complain on sage-devel" comment, either; that could be more precise.

 I do think that the "not very nice" things Leif mentioned can be left to
 another ticket, though.
