I'll handle ia64, but I'll be taking a different approach. I made a
snapshot just after the code freeze (20031119) and do not plan to
build RCs unless there are fixes that I want to have tested. Previous
releases were just too much work and no benefit at all. I expect at
this time that I'll only build the final release.

Note: If re@ feels that it's better to have at least one RC available
on the mirrors, let me know.

FYI,
