I'm not sure we have an official policy here, but I'd say that we are
pragmatic concerning the portability: we want quilt to be usable on
all platforms that are still used nowadays.

Unless someone objects, I think I'll commit this change; if it breaks
something for an exotic platform at some point, we'll think further:
either revert the change or come up with a better one.

Thanks for your time guys: quilt really needs people to propose
patches and other ones to comment them in order to keep going forward.

Bye, Mt.
