Oh goodness. Thanks for offering me a new hobby ;)

Right. The two areas which come to mind are integer availability and the
timezone support (as you might know we support *three* different time
zone models). At the moment, none of the developers know the features
supported on the platforms we claim to support. Which platforms do not
have int8 support still? Which do not have time zone interfaces fitting
into the two "zonefull" styles? I'd like to know, but istm that the
people *with* the platforms could do this much more easily than those
without. What am I missing here??
