Yep. I've now got this running on Linux and Solaris and testing so far has
looked good. I've also spoken to a couple other people who have built it and
run it, and everyone has been pretty happy. It'd certainly be nice to see
this get into the main source tree to make it easier for future testing. (For
example, one hurdle on Solaris, I had to get a different version of patch to
handle Simon's diff... ugh!)
