Re: [2011.03-maintenance] Pull request for new TI machines, angstrom and qt4 fixes

[Philip Balister <philip@balister.org>]

Frans,

Before this spins into a long thread of who did what to who, let's try 
reinterpreting Koen's answer;

The pull request is in line with the policy from this branch defined in 
the wiki. Also, prior requests have also added new machines.

If you disagree with the policies that this branch is using, you may ask 
if the people using and maintaining the branch would like to update the 
policy to reflect no new machines will be added. If they disagree with 
you, and you still feel strongly, start your own support branch.
