Hrm?  I'm saying Khelms was wrong, not Rob.  I actually am capable of proving
it since I have an OSX box running a build of Synchronet at home
(experimentally)  However, since there are such deep-reaching changes required
for BE support, it will never be part of any official 3.x release.  but expect
to see it very early in the 4.x development cycle.
