Ok, I see, I won't have luck with my wish for 2.2.x :-) However,
if there are enhancements or changes being made in order to bring
it into the 3.x or 4.x tree, please make a short note if these
changes are incompatible with 2.2.x. As I said before, I still
can't use 3.x on a lot of machines here so I have to stick with
2.2.x for a while. (I have problems using runsocks from the socks5
package, but yet haven't figured out if it's my fault).
Thanks a lot,
