I've been offered a location to put all of my ported code up for ftp later
this week (thanks David). The ports rely on some libc stuff I did at 1.3.1,
but that probably won't get into the standard release until 1.4. I'll ftp
up my 1.3.1 libc though if anyone want's to hack their own libc (but it will
break the shared libs at the next release). For those who don't want to do
anything quite so drastic I'll try and put up static linked binaries for
some of the code.

Hopefully the ports of yacc, bison and flex, plus the modified ports of sed
and gzip will be in the next release as they just needed fixes to 1.3.2's
libc, not any new code.
