I appreciate your offer, but at the moment, not really... I already did the part with the upstream source files, for all commits since the initial revision -- that's how I recreated the ~70 patches out of the single format 1.0 diff. The result of this is in the aforementioned sf3 (up to 3.0pl1-123, I think). The sheer size and number of changes make this really hard to get into, but I'm already halfway through a review and reorg, after which it should be much easier. Once I've cleaned things up, I'll gladly come back to you for help and review! This is a big change, and I'd feel much more comfortable with more eyes looking into this. Regards, Christian
