Nope. That's why I asked :). It was brought to the table as a proposal
in order to make those laws more akin in the world. At least partly,
since I believe there was no mention of business method patentability,
just the patentability of software AKA mathematics.

Fortunately the proposal didn't make the ballots. So, for the moment
at least, software patents do not apply in the EU. Don't know about
Japan.

In a few hours. I was bating my breath awaiting the arrival of
a 19" case. Alas. Baiting it didn't help, either :). Anyway, I need
to install that machine ASAP, so I'll just insulate the parts a 
bit and see if Murphy's asleep. If so then I'll be looking at them
makefiles ;).

PS my mathematics have sometimes bugs, too! QED
