Well, HP hasn't exactly been forthcoming with support on their own end,
but we do have an HPUX 11.31 IA64 machine in the buildfarm, and I still
routinely test on a personal 10.20 HPPA box, so it's not like the
platform doesn't get coverage at all.  If you'd like to see some other
cases covered, feel free to contribute a buildfarm member.
