Hehe, earlier today I merged my old, lame-but-functional patch with
1.11.3  (I've changed systems since last time). Does this mean that when
fedora picks up 1.12 (after there *is* a 1.12 obviously :-) ) that I
won't need to roll my own any more? ;-)

That's the plan.

Great news, thanks! Now... if Fedora will just pick it up... :-)

I guess you're quoting from my post to the gnulib list? :)

Right.
