Each KB distributed via the list becomes more than 100KB when send through the
server. Having small attachments is not really bad, but if most people have no
use for it, it is often better to distribute it by other means. But as long as
you don't append multi megabyte binary patches, things are ok, I think:-)

Yes, sometimes .ifdef is the way to do it. My comments were more targeted on
the ".if 0" in crt0.asm, where the comment states that the code is not needed.

There are security problems when using readonly access together with
read/write access (at least this was true when I last looked at it), so there
is no public r/o access. For developer r/w access, you do currently need a
static IP address, I will filter access by this address.
If you just need access to the head branch of the last day, you can download
the snapshots from the FTP server.

Ok, sorry, this wasn't obvious.

Not really, since this can be easily emulated by using bit shifts, and/or the
bit operators. Other things (floats for example) would be more important.

This will probably come sooner or later.

There's currently no good place for both, I will have to invent something. Any
suggestions are welcome.

It can go into the platforms specific docs for the machine (maybe with some
adjustments).
