It depends upon how we decide to treat the "I use Mac but I'm porting my
code to Unix" postings :-)  If we broaden the general list scope so that
the "I use Mac" part is most important, we won't need the -xplatform
sublist. Alternatively...

Perhaps we should hold the proposal for the -xplatform list in abeyance
until we see how "warm" the reception becomes for the newly broadened
scope? ;-)

Now this, I think, would get a lot of support (especially from Chris, who
doesn't seem to like CGI much :-)
