I might do bits and pieces of trivial stuff, but the trunk feels like a 
bit fo a dead end to me at the moment so I don't feel like investing a lot 
of time in it.

OK, I'll watch out for your commits and try to merge them into my branches 
as well. Or you could do it :-) I have no objection to other people 
committing to chris/merge.

I think it's important that we keep autoconf stuff in sync, because it's 
all cross-platform - something that you do for freebsd may well not work 
on cygwin or linux, and we want to know about that as soon as possible.

Cheers, Chris.
