Right, gotcha.

Indeed.

OK... do you plan on merging any trivial stuff back to trunk before the
release, or are you going to do it all in one big hit?

There's a couple of things I'm working on now, as Ben's given me commit
access to try and fix some of the issues I've raised, but obviously I'll
be working off trunk or my own branch.

I'm fiddling with autoconf at the moment, so when I've got a working
patch, instead of just committing straight to trunk shall I raise a
ticket so you have visibility as well? (Although to be honest the
autoconf stuff just fixes issues on FreeBSD so shouldn't affect your
testing. I'm implementing additional functionality rather than replacing
the existing stuff.)
