For ongoing support, it would also be really helpful if HP could provide an OpenVMS buildbot.

Yes, that would be best first step in the on-going struggle to support OpenVMS platform. I guess the best first step would be to make it compile at all. Then try to make it pass the test suite. This may well take several months to complete.

And then make sure the buildbot client runs properly. Still, having someone start down that path now (with a green stable buildbot as the target end state) provides a specific goal that any patches can work towards.

Cheers, Nick.
