That counts as a working port for v6.3, since there are not likely to be
changes that break individual ports from here on. If there is a change which
might, then we will post a "call for port testing" on hackers. No need to do
explicit port testing on a daily/weekly basis once a port has been shown to
work in the last few weeks, although it would be a good idea to do it once
more perhaps a few days before the release.
I'll take on the list of tested ports if someone has not already, since I'll
want to fold it into the docs anyway. Will repost my current list soon.
