Lots of new progress in March, but too busy coding to update the website, so this entry will be a summary of progress on the main (2.1.1) branch:

* Thomas Schatzl is making good progress with the linux 64-bit PowerPC port. A snapshot is here
* Peter did a Titanic work, and crafted an internal linker for win32 and win64, reducing linking times tremendously. For such a complex new subsystem, it is already quite stable.
* DWARF debugging info support is slowly starting to work. Stabs will be phased out in time.
* Florian just showed a first "Hello world" program for Win64. This is remarkable since GCC and the binutils don't even support this target. (Internal linker!)
* Jonas reported that he has ported to Darwin/i386 with remarkable little effort. Snapshots are expected in the coming weeks.
