Ozk, would you mind if I called you one day regarding this? This might
affect some stuff I'm working on myself. It's a long-term project and can
benefit greatly from some enhancements in the AES - I'd like to discuss this
with you before I proceed.

It is extremely encouraging to hear that you've not left the scene
completely :-) Both you and Frank means a lot to the FreeMiNT community, and
finding someone to continue your high quality work on XaAES and the kernel
would be next to impossible.

Sticking to one compiler and one set of libraries is a good idea. I'm not
particularly fond of gcc - even on my Milan060 it's painfully slow and I
really don't like working with it. But I'm not working on XaAES so I really
don't mind :-)
