Hi, what were we talking about again ;-)? Aah, right: 1.3.2 is out the door, the dust has settled.
Tuesday, next week, I'd like to apply the patch (produced by contrib/check_unnecessary_headers.sh, see the first email). This will require just two patches: - one (independent patch) for a few minor additions of mostly include string.h and other includes of header files - then the "big" one, that gets rid of inclusion of header files in 832 files (again mostly one-liners). For this, I expect to not require exclusive access to the trunk... Would that be reasonable? CU, Rainer PS: Regarding MTT, it _has_ been tested on several clusters (getting coverage of more MCAs, compilers and so on), but neither OS's, nor architectures, so...
