Glad there are more people interested in backporting your code to 1.5 --
we would certainly take part in that effort as we need it as well.

However, I'm not sure if the SVN repository is the right spot to be, at
least not the trunk branch which is feature-closed. A separate branch
might be more appropriate; then again, I hate SVN's merging capabilities
and would much rather use git for that.

Feeling hard to make up my mind on this one. Let's hear what others have
to say.


Cheers,

--Timo
