No problem.

I agree with Andrew, that patches 9 to 14 could use indeed some
more eyeballs.

Patches 1 to 8 are more straight-forward, and I would consider
these ready. However, they are also those, where I probably won't
have any trouble rebasing them on top of your changes.


Anyway. Until now I always thought my patches will end up in the
queue of some maintainer, so that I don't have to bother about
_when_ posting my patches. Therefore: when should I repost a
version rebased on top of Joe's changes?

(If I'd get some opinions on 9 to 14 until then, all the better.)

Regards
Jan
