Alpha Centauri could *probably* have a few rocky worlds, like Earth, but
most likely no gas giants like Jupiter.  On the other hand, the
prospects for life might not be so good, since there'd probably be a lot
of asteroids with unstable orbits being flung at the planets every
perstellon, or maybe better, since perhaps those asteroids would all be
flung out early on.  Hmm ... who knows?
