Thanks!

One thing that I don't understand is where the build platforms is
configured for each project.  For example, gmp is built for i686-freebsd
and i386-sunos, is it possible to enable the same for libidn?  I
couldn't find any obvious difference between the gmp and libidn
hydra-recipe, but I'm probably looking in the wrong place.  I understand
if computing power is a scarce resource and you don't want everything
built on the more rare platforms.
