Thanks.

I've queued this up pending Jens' acceptance of the other patches.

By the way, your patch file has a carriage return as well as a newline at the
end of each line.
"patch" can still handle them but "git am" doesn't like it.

If you are able to send the patches as plain text with just a NEWLINE at the
end of each line, rather than base64 encodes with carriage returns, it would
help a little.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
