I'm re-sending this so that David will see it (I hear you don't read the list).

I also want to flag this situation as another road-bump for contributors. Someone (like me) will send patches to the list by tools other than darcs send, eg because they want to edit the message further or keep the thread context. They will see their patch in the public list, perhaps even see it discussed, but will have no idea that it has fallen into a black hole, because the sole patch approver does not see it. What could be done to make this more optimal ?

Thanks - Smon

  Thanks David. I've attached a patch bundle (the above, plus a trivial
  one to make it easier to jump that part of the makefile). This is also
  a test of this means of sending patches (darcs send -O, attach to
  thunderbird message, post to gmane.darcs.user group)

 man (nroff) treats an apostrophe in the first column specially,
 resulting in a syntax error without this patch.
 
 Ideally, all cases of 'foo' in the manpage (i.e. docstrings) should
 become `foo', since man -Tps turns ` and ' into left and right single
 quotes respectively.
