I'd say your patch is a very good starting point and framewort to which everthing else, is desired, can be added later. PHK assigned himself to your PR with the patch but told me this weekend that he'd hold back until (appearently) this discussion is finished. IMO he can go ahead and commit it. -- Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
