Hi Linda,

It may not be so much work for you, once I finish the pre-installed
Tinderbox VMware virtual machine that I'm working on.  When it's done, I
plan to release it into the wild for port maintainers, committers and
anyone else who wants to use it.

TB does take a bit of configuration, so I thought this might be a good
way to get folks using it and reaping its benefits.

Regards,
Greg
