Updated release criteria

[Mark Mitchell <mark at codesourcery dot com>]

I checked in the following patch to the criteria page.

I've used the term `Evaluation Platform', rather than `Supported
Platform', following a privately received recommendation.  I think
that's good; it's intended to imply that these are the platforms where
we're evaluating GCC 3.0 without implying these are the only platforms
where GCC 3.0 will work.

I've added language suggesting more clearly what I think the
second-tier platform concept should mean, and how I hope that aspect
of the release will work.

I also added some second-tier platforms that people have suggested.

I know that many people have already volunteered for various things.
I've intentionally ignored those mails to date -- I wanted to
concentrate on *what* we will do, and not *who* will do it.

However, it's getting to the point where we need to figure that out,
and then start scheduling.  I'll be creating a task list page in the
near future, and I'll ask for volunteers for a variety of tasks at
that point.

Thanks,

+ <p>Volunteers will be required, both to test and to fix bugs, for all

+ volunteers show be careful not to sign up for more work than they can
+ actually do.)  If volunteers cannot be found for these platforms, then
+ the secondary platforms will be dropped from this list.</p>
+ 
+ <p>The bug-fixing volunteer will commit to ensuring that GCC 3.0 will
+ at least bootstrap itself on each of these secondary platforms.  That
+ committment doesn't necessarily mean fixing bugs personally; for
+ example, if you are a manager for a company with GCC expertise you
+ could be the volunteer if you'll commit to donating your employee's
+ efforst as necessary.  The release manager, and the GCC development
+ team, will make reasonable efforts to assist these volunteers by
+ answering questions and reviewing patches as time permits.</p>
