sounds right to me that you would limit your time this way. Sysadmin-y stuff is
a PITA.

I can help in that way though. I'll try and set up some VMs for FreeBSD 8.0 and
OpenSolaris to make it easier to test things.

That would be great.  :)

The non-forwards-compatible file format changes are going smoothly... I've got
three out of four done. 

There were originally some API changes I was thinking would go into 0.30_10,
but since people won't be able to downgrade without reindexing, I think it
might make sense to do a minimal release.
