Will Thomas/Mark accept the patches? At the beginning of May you had
sent in a patch to rename the catch keyword in libthreads to catch_exit
to match gnumach and it was never applied.
It would be lovely if we could write a nice template library for the Hurd
callbacks - I don't speak PERL well, but it looks like someone already
thought it out for that from the postings on deb-hurd a while back.
