I think this is an interesting idea, and I encourage everyone on this
mailing list to send them a similar message requesting a Linux port.  I
will do so this morning.  If we can show them that there's significant
interest in the Linux community, it might influence them.  Also, if we
have any lisp programmers here (I'm sure we do), an offer of volunteer
help with the port might be influential.
