I understand you have a lot to do and I have no
problem with patches taking a little while to get
integrated into the CVS, but when there is
absolutely no sign whatsoever of activity it feels
like, "why the hell should I care when noone even
looks at my work" ;)

To aid you in your efforts I shall try to look
through a few bugs and provide additional
comments, ie "patch works for me, recommend
inclusion in CVS". More help from the community is
never a bad thing :)

  Kristian.
