       I've got a Sun U5, with a Sparc64 CPU, and I'm thinking   
       about running your ultimate proof about the end of the   
       universe.   
      
       How portable is your software in this alternate universe?   
       And (this is just an absurd hypothesis, don't take it as a   
       personnal attack) can this famous proof of the end of the   
       world run on other deviant processors such as the z80 or   
       the ipax432 ?
