Hi,

I'm currently in the process of rebasing zheap onto the pluggable
storage work. The goal, which seems to work surprisingly well, is to
find issues that the current pluggable storage patch doesn't yet deal
with.  I plan to push a tree including a lot of fixes and improvements
soon.

Thanks.

Cool. I've not yet looked at it, but I plan to do so soon.  Will have to
rebase over the other copy changes first :(
