I'm sorry that I've stopped the development for a while. That was
because I was fighting with Automake. After all, I decided to continue
using it and fixing it, since I felt that it would be wasteful to
create a yet-another-make-generator.

  Okay, now I explain what I want to do until the next test
release. Note that I'm going to make it the last test release until
0.6, so 0.5.95 will be besically the same as 0.6. Here is the list:

1. Fix bogus bugs in Automake. This is not directly related to GRUB,
but we need to do so.
2. Apply the graphics support patch and the ReiserFS support
patch. All that is necessary is my spare time.
3. Fix the completion bug (i.e. BSD sub-partitions are not completed
correctly in some conditions.)
4. Make the LBA support bitmap check configurable at the installation
time but not at the compilation time. This should be easy.
5. Finish the Multiboot Specification 0.7. Similarly, this just needs
my spare time.
6. Implement the new features in 0.7.
7. Implement serial console support.

Probably the release date will be affected by how many people can
work. If you want to see it soon, please help me!

Thanks,
Okuji

P.S. To develop a pre-0.5.95 version, you have to check out the latest
CVS version of Automake. Be careful what version you are using.
