Yes, it's already in CVS... what I could really use from Jay is a
clarification of what options should be going into 0.16.x and what
options should be going into 0.17.x, and what the plans for making

as well.

I'd like to help with this, but I don't actually remember how I learned C,
I'm sure I picked the hardest possible way, though :)
