Hello all, this is a resend because of a SourceForge.net mailing list outage when it was originally (re)sent (I received an error message for that in email yesterday, March 4, 09:21 CET).

You claimed you'll review patches during the last weekend (in > message from Fri, 23 Feb 2018), but I didn't notice anything in this I have committed and reviewed one patch just before the weekend's end (in local time), I sent it to Francesco and the list, sourceforge.net lost it (I configured my mailing list subscription to send my posts back to me and didn't get it that time, I just suspected it might be delayed, I wouldn't have put much faith in a resend). I'll resend it to you, Francesco and the list right away. > regard.
