I'm merely stating that I don't think Linux on PDAs as a general rule
is really viable.  See my reply to Ian for the reason why.

Unfortunately, though, I do not have time to put in to getting H3600
support going, especially when the technical details are hidden deep
inside whatever commercial company now owns the design.

People generally want me to be doing less, since commercial people
have realised the "what if rmk gets hit by a bus" scenario is not
very pretty for this community.

So, I do not want to take on the iPAQ support and then turn into a
maintainer for yet another large chunk of code.
