One more thing that I was going to mention, but forgot about until I hit the send button, is that it's not the same boat as before, because: 1) it's all vendor branched (the existing gnu stuff generally isn't) 2) it's in native tree layout. Anybody can diff it without having to remap files. Incidently, I had considered doing the two ncurses changes via patch files since they were so small... Cheers, -Peter
