1. Mesa library

Greg sent mail to alexp suggesting that the release isn't a great
place for the mesa library.  No other opinions from the team.

2. 64-bit Solaris

There are some new machines coming down the pipe which will only boot
a 64-bit kernel.  Our plan is to make all Ultras boot a 64-bit kernel,
and keep the environment at 32-bit until we're ready to desupport all
sun4m machines.  We will need a separate AFS module for Ultras.

Greg will survey existing machines to see how much space we have on
the root and usr partitions on Ultra and non-Ultra mchines.

3. sawfish configuration

We talked briefly about this but didn't come to any particular
conclusions.  Greg will take a closer look at what aui is using.

4. Bleeding-edge Athena

It's ready, just about (the cluster needs to be created).
