Thanks, I'm not sure why I thought that this was a good idea to send
(even after discussing it to myself twice publicly on the list
beforehand).
Anyway, in my local copy, I adopted Peff's suggestion below in the
thread, which is:
extract_haves () {
depacketize - | perl -lne '/^(\S+) \.have/ and print $1'
}
I think that that should be OK, but I sent it here to double check
before sending you real patches.
Thanks,
Taylor
