I'm concerned; that doesn't sound like a good process to develop
a patch.  Normally backporting a patch is a matter of finding
N applicable revisions and merging them... but it sounds that here
you're re-developing the feature from scratch.

Which is why this route wasn't my first choice. The required changes look as if they're too far down to line to apply separately; they require previous, possibly unrelated, revisions.

I'll take the time later to see if I can figure out exactly how many trunk revisions I'd need.


If it won't compile on windows, for example, I'd be concerned that you
introduced run-time bugs on unix.

I poorly phrased it; all I meant was, I'm likely going to be unable to verify that it builds on Windows. The code's actually not as ifdef'd as it first appears, and a quick walk-though makes me think it *should* be OK. I just won't be able to check myself.
