I've picked all of that up including other bits and pieces which have been
circulated in various threads.

Note that the next series will have

 - a rename as lots of people complained about KAISER

 - stuff folded back where ever it makes sense
 
 - reordering of the queue to put fixes and preparatory changes first

Will take a bit, but this needs to be done before I completely drown in
conflicting patches and patch snippets of all sorts.

Thanks,
