Hi, Aaron.  I'm not quite the right person - nobody is, probably.

I'm forwarding this to the internals@stripped list; ports
to other platforms are discussed there (along with other things
about the guts of MySQL).

I haven't heard anything about the BeOS port for some time; it
seems like it's on hold somewhere.  I'm not even sure who was
working on it, but perhaps this e-mail will find them.
