Right.

Right, and I'm going to create a branch for this work so we can all see
what's changing.

Ozk has committed lots of stuff that makes like very hard to see what
changed with all the white space changes. It'd be nice for Odd to work
on a branch too and avoid breaking master until we can fully identify
what work is being done, or Odd makes it clear what's changing.
Unfortunately it's already hit master so we'll just have to test, fixup
and move forward, but this may delay any release now as I'm not really
sure what's changed yet until we can all sift through the white space
stuff.

Not really, and I agree it's not pleasant, but I'm getting Helmut's code
onto a branch this week (if not later today).

I'll update freemint.org with my script (just about to be put into
place) so that we get daily freemint builds and so people can test
binaries quickly.

Alan.
