[Marcus Comstedt]

Hi Philippe,

Thank you for your efforts.  The new buildbot is looking very nice.

I tested the Dreamcast snapshot, and it starts and I was able to
launch the Gobliiins demo.  Some plugins cause a crash (invalid memory
access) on load though.

I'm using 4.9.4 now (this has better C++11 support than 4.6.3, and is
easier to get to compile :).  Would it be possible to have this
version on the buildbot?  I can't rule out that the crashes with the
snapshot is due to toolchain issues (the SuperH backend is somewhat
fragile due to seeing limited use, and is known to break sometimes),
and anyway reproducing issues would be easier with the same toolchain
version.

libronin is not abandoned.  It's just that it, like TeX, has reached a
state of near perfection where there is seldom any reason to change
it.  :-)
