Between Freescale's mail server and the trouble we're having
with Google right now (along with thousands of others), I am
NOT surprised it got lost somewhere along the way.
I wasn't bitching :)

Okay, non-trivial was pretty much what I was looking for, I
was just trying to weigh up how much effort is required..
If you actually scope it out in any detail or someone has some
10% time and decides this would be an awesome project, give me
a nudge? My MPC8641D is itching to actually do something
besides build packages. Actually having 8GB of memory would
REALLY help run SUSE Build Service :]
