Hi,

I started porting ipaq h1915 and  mypal 716 into Opie since 2005 year. 
Meanwhile I got cvs commit access to keep ports updated and I'm doing 
currently and want do it in the future.
Except that I did custom improved SDL/Opie port for this devices which 
I'm included in customised Familiar distributions.
Personaly I favorise Opie other GPE.
