I've been using a self-built version of setup (CVS head + some local
patches) for my local upgrades since early December, with no discernible
problems. So I second Andr�'s vote.
FWIW, I'd also like to submit some more changes that aren't ready for
primetime, but which, I think, should be present in development snapshots.
They are much less stable than the resizability patches, and I don't think
it's fair to require anyone wanting a resizable setup to use a snapshot
with raw and unstable functionality.
