I did not miss it, that is the basis :).
There were only so much patches that did not work, and stupid me did it
on my workstation (128MB, single ide), instead of the development server
(dual smp, 1GB, soft raid 5, 4 disks).
Each run takes a considerable amount of time, before finding out something
is wrong :(
I am not completely apt-get into it ;)

Not up to 18-4 :)
Hmmm, if you do the patcheing etc. (which you already do), I do the
backport ;)
I need at least a .deb package of a stable mga implementation that I
can work on. (I mean, the 2d has to work, and it has to have the recent
mga rework of gareth).
