Verily!

Well, except for that minor glitch, 2.0.5 to 2.1.5 is a win (because I
remembered to back up my XF86Config; probably that, and the COMPAT_43
requirement should be more prominently documented).

Kudos on the fixed psm driver, which finally enables me to run Tcl/Tk, 
bitmap, etc., on my Toshiba.

Also kudos on the newly useful /stand/sysinstall, which got me up and 
running over a 64Kbps line faster than I would have thought possible
(some kind of persistant state storage would be nice, though, so you wouldn't
have to enter all the config information from scratch every time).

As soon as I figure out how to get the PCMCIA support working for my modem
I'll probably donate a chunk of cash to the cause, such will be my state of
delirious joy.
