I've just rerun all previous tests from my history and all of them are
OK. Please note however that I only did the manual build test, not through
the whole kvm.sh script, but a diff shows that the involved files are byte
for byte identical to those that Valentin and Mark tested, so for me that's
OK as well.

By the way, thank you for having completed the commit messages, I hope you
didn't spend too much time on this.

Cheers,
Willy
