Yes, a port to the 68030 Amiga is running pretty well, at last report from
Hawaii (newsham@aloha.net). The port was done with an older rev of VSTa,
and he's been planning on doing a merge/update soon.

Note that the '040 does not support two-level PTE format, only three. There
will be incremental work to support the '040, I expect.

Clustering is currently not done. We believe that we are putting the right
tools in place, but... "In theory there's no difference between theory and
practice, but in practice, there is". :-)
