(...picking a random message to reply to...)
A meta-point...Harkirat was nice enough to post these diffs publically.
He never said anything about committing these to -CURRENT or 4-STABLE,
but just put them up for people to look at if they were interested. I
don't know if committing them is even something he wants to deal with,
although hopefully that *is* the case. I'm worried that he's going to
get scared away by all the things that he "has to do".
No one else has said it yet, but thanks Harkirat for letting us know
about your code. As you know, a number of people have asked about this
functionality in the past. I haven't read the code closely yet, but I
think it'd be great if this *is* a version that can go into -CURRENT,
and eventually 4-STABLE.
Peace,
Bruce.
