+Adding support for a new target
+-------------------------------
+In order to add support for a missing target, one has to tell
+ABE about a few things peculiar to the target:
+- which libc to choose: in abe.sh, look for "powerpc" and add similar
+ handling code
+- select which languages to build: in config/gcc.conf, look for
+ "powerpc" again for an example
+- convert the target name into the linux name when installing the
+ linux kernel headers: in lib/make.sh, look for powerpc again
