OCaml ppc64 support

[Brent Baude]

Richard,

As Karsten mentioned, there are machines we can put you on (with way better
perf than a G5 plus more memory) that are already publically available and
running Fedora.  Swing into #fedora-ppc and we can put you on one.

Yeah, I offered to buy them a machine too, but they just don't want to
maintain a ppc64 backend (or apparently not a non-Rhapsody one).  In
any case I'm fine maintaining this.

On the subject, what is a good cheap ppc64 machine to buy these days?
A second hand G5?

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.  Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.
