Ah - well, it seems to me, actually, that there is a demonstrable
difference between platforms which TDF distributes binary builds for and
those for which it does not.

But I am really, really interested in working on this more specific
piece, in addition to the generic piece, on additional platforms and
third party support.

- There has been a bit of conversation on the subject lately and it
makes sense to work, together as a group, on something that addresses
this IMO..

So, I'll kind of head down that path and hope folks take an interest and
help..but not super fast, time to turn back to the disc for now..

BTW - I was thinking this subject might need more space so took one more
pass on the base file for extra space - here my working file for today
(won't touch this piece again today..or even the weekend.)
