I saw it. Don't know if others did. I thought I replied?

OK. I'll look at it- you said it was just a one-liner, right? Oh, OK- two
one liners :)

That would be nice if true :)

It will definitely need some more HOWTO updates. That's quite OK,
especially if it means we can "standardize" all the platforms on one
compiler.
As far as CVS, do you have any idea how long it'll take you to go through
everything and fix it up? I think Paolo and I were hoping to do an
official* 0.2.4 release when he got home from vacation, and it'd be great
to include these fixes in there- in fact, we'd probably both be willing to
wait for these patches if they aren't too far off into the future.
Oh, as far as the other two patches I've been sent this week- I hope to
get those into CVS tonight, guys... thanks for all the support.
TTYL-
Luis
*official, as in freshmeat announcement and the whole bit. Hopefully,
coinciding with dropping the "pre" stuff from the HOWTO.
