Hehe. But I am always glad when people try to get it right! :-)

So... what was the problem? I mean - couldn't that have been resolved? Most OSS projects has one
or a few with write access and everyone else just sends patches. If Ian wanted write access to
himself then I would personally gladly had given him that, but then I would of course also...
what's the word... "expected" him to tend the sources somewhat regularly. ;-) You know what I
mean.

Could you do a short recap on what the problem was? I mean, we are talking about the C-source
right? Or are we talking about the rest of the VM? Is it a problem with CVS-clients?

PS. BTW - The new 3D stuff is very intriguing... DS
