Ah, didn't think of that. Sure, I will be busy myself for a week or two, so I won't push for at least a week, probably more. > b) cygwin? mingw? msvc?

I'm afraid I don't have (or want) access to any Windows machines, so I'm afraid that I am relying on you guys to tell me if I screwed up. Of course I'm not expecting you to debug or fix my mistakes for me, and I'm not anticipating any new problems, since everything is merely migrated from legacy testsuite to Autotest testsuite, with minimal changes required to keep everything working on my main machines. Although I do normally have access to more machines, the flooding in Bangkok has made any use of my Internet connection other than email intolerably slow... hence the recent flurry of work on libtool (which I can do offline, queueing emails for when my connection is next up) to fill my time while I wait for things to get back to normal. The reason I'll be too busy to do much more of that over the next week or two, is that last night I actually had a full-speed connection to the US again, so I'm anticipating playing catchup at $realjob myself. > Sorry if I seem a bit short, but I'm rather annoyed to see my queue get > filled with hours upon hours of work in the middle of a holiday. Please don't feel that it's your responsibility to painstakingly pick through every patch I post... I'd be more than happy just to get the test logs from anything I put on alpha.gnu.org for the architectures I don't use to help me restabilize the code closer to a release. Enjoy the rest of your holiday, and sorry for working so much on libtool recently: although my objective with the recent modernisations has been to try to decruft libtool a little, and to make the barrier to contribution much lower than it is currently if at all possible. I rarely have the chance to put a lot of time into libtool, and things will slow down considerably again now if my Internet connection really is back to (something like) normal again. I have another 20 or so patches left incubating in my unpublished queue, and I will be done for now after those are polished and pushed over the next month or two. Cheers, -- Gary V.
