Agreed.  Not being fussy, but building ReactOS on my system takes HOURS on
end, and I don't wanna build it for every little change, if I can avoid
it... Although, I need to ask, do we *want* ROS to run on 486+ CPU's?  Or
Pentium+ CPU's?  ROS currently doesn't run on my 486 computer, which it
the only available one I have to test on...

Agreed there, as well.  Just my opinion.
