Supported architectures for D

[Wim Vander Schelden]

We're developing our own port at the moment, and then join Hack'n'Dev 
and Familiar for packages. Currently Linux boots, but the touch screen 
and the keyboard don't work yet. We will get GPE running in all its 
glory by the next school year though.

About the Zaurus: You have _TWO_? I think I speak for several Linux 
guru-wannabes here when I say I spend months looking for one, but never 
got a decent deal on it, and still regret the day I didn't buy one.
