Hey. You're welcome. Especially when you create good documentation for

Yes. Crappy old tree, but it can still read my git.git directory, so you
can use it to update to my current source base.

concentrating _entirely_ on just the plumbing, and if you actually want a
faucet or a toilet _conntected_ to the plumbing, you're better off with
Pasky's tree, methinks:
