I don't have any serious objections. Although I'd like to know about  
the legal status; e.g. the XBox port has some issues in that regard  
because the involved SDKs are not really GPL compatible (as far as I  
understand the matter, if anybody knows better, please clarify :-). I  
have no idea what the legal status of PSP development is, so I'd  
appreciate if you could provide some pointers.

Also, don't forget to update the NEWS file, and possible README  
and .tex docs as appropriate :-).

We'll want to mention this on the website, too, I guess.

In other news, we should get geared up for a new release soon.  
Ideally with official PS2, AmigaOS4, Symbian, and maybe PSP  
binaries ... :-)
