I'm a little hesitant to drop it, both because it'd be a (very minor) pain to dig it up to add back later and because I'm not entirely sure how to test the result for consistency and validity (given that I currently lack usable VMs for install testing; nearly all my testing of changes to date has been by running from the source tree), but I've taken a stab at it locally. Any suggestions for how to test the post-drop source tree, or should I just push 1.5.7.1 to GitHub and let you follow up at leisure? (This would probably be a good occasion for me to figure out how to push secondary branches to GitHub, so that I can make this available without an irrevocable update to master, but I don't feel like investing that effort right at the moment. I might feel differently once the day has gotten underway, but no guarantees.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
