The 360 may be old but is by no means dead...  I can't imagine that 
Yusuf or anyone else is planning on using it in a greenfield design, but 
there are several scenarios where using an older processor makes sense.  
Telling people to switch processors is a simplistic waste of bandwidth.

Anyway, Yusuf:

Here's a link to a patch that was submitted by *Ilya* *Matvejchikov*.  I 
can't vouch for it personally, but it may be helpful:
