	I sent them patches against the at-the-time up-to-date CVS tree back
when this first came up, they said that they failed, so I sent them another
set, and have not heard back from them.  It doesn't seem to show up in the
cvs logs.

	I'll bug someone again and see if I can find out what happened.  I mean,
they only have 240 people with write access to the cvs tree...
