Looks good to me -- AFAIK it was only dropped by accident first time
around.

Folks: if you submit a patch for inclusion please keep resending every
48h until you get some kind of response or it's committed.

[Aside: it would be really nice if there was some tool that pulled
patches off a mailing list and fed them into something like bugzilla,
along with all the coments associated with a patch. It should also watch
the changelog list and update the status as 'APPLIED' when appropriate.
At any time an author could withdraw/supercede a patch, and a maintainer
could reject/keep-on-file. A really smart system would also keep patches
fresh by trying to rebase them, or at least note if they still apply
cleanly.]

Thanks,
Ian
