_everyone_ who has had the opportunity to port stuff to NS486 has
reported the same thing.  Illustrator only needed to be recompiled
(i.e. type "make").  Same deal with Pages by Pages.  In fact, they
were demo'ing Pages on a Dell in their booth at Seybold.  Bruce said
that they only needed to type "make."

Way to go NeXT!!!
