Yep, Eric reminded us that the freeMiNT kernels shouldn't be called 
MiNT, which he had seen happen in a lot of docs and things. I don't 
know if it's wrong to officially say a program is ported to MiNT, it 
is after all the same system ("Atari" is copyrighted too). But then 
again this would technically be incorrect for programs requiring 
versions 1.14 and up. :) But I think (we should make sure though) 
that when naming the platform (as opposed to the kernel) MiNT is ok.

What about FreshMiNT, SpearMiNT, PepperMiNT? After all, it's a "Unix 
flavor" isn't it? :)) (Ignore this) :)
