> comments on why a PC executable should be made available

Let's be a bit realistic, eh?  The GNU people have enough to do without
building executables for software to run on platforms that they don't
support, such as PC's.  Now, how about someone else providing a PC
executable via anonymous ftp from somewhere, and also posting the binary to
comp.binaries.ibm.pc?

Before we volunteer someone else's time, let's see if we can get someone to
volunteer their own.  I have no interest in a PC executable, but I might be
able to be talked into providing a Microport V/AT binary.

Any takers on the PC front?
