Ahhh, now that's a problem.  But, we could always supply that
gcc binary, if anybody's interested.  Of course, that's an extra
burden.  If anybody would like to send us that gcc binary as well
as the swarm binary, we'll put it up.  Otherwise, Ted's right, there's
no point in supplying a Swarm binary if every mklinux user is 
going to have to dig into the bowls of GCC, anyway.

Agreed!  If I haven't said it, yet, I had alot of fun, as well.
We will have to do another one next year.  It might be fun to 
have it at one of the other Hives.
