Working on the build for 3.2.1 now. Hoping to have it done by the end of
the day. We talked about updating the the old port on this mailing list
and more people seemed to want it to be a separate port so we did not
break the dependencies. I am getting more and more emails now supporting
to update the existing eclipse port. I have no problem with that. I will
ask again how many people would prefer updating the original eclipse
port versus creating a new port? Please comment on this ASAP as I am
working on an update to eclipse 3.2.1.
