Hello,

The patchset I sent out today was the last large cleanup patchset I

Hmmm... the bidi stuff not being used widely, I didn't pay too much
attention to it.  What do you have in mind?  Can you elaborate a bit?
We changed the API a lot anyway so if there's more to do doing it now
wouldn't be a bad idea.

Thanks.
