There's been some private discission by the moderators about this, and 
basically we don't have any problem at all: the runner ID page is designed 
for this kind of information.  Of course if you can include information that 
might be useful to a potential user as well: what the OS/compiler version 
and patch numbers are etc, then that would be great too :-)

Many thanks for taking up and running the tests - we've been in need of an 
IBM compiler-tester for a while!
