I see you have make the transition.
I've built it and will start using it today. So far it
looks good.
The only negative i have at this point is that i don't like
the indentation. Don't let that trouble you, i can
understand why you went with a 4 char shiftwidth. I only
noticed it because you were the last person to touch
backup.c which had converted tabs into spaces and had
indentation errors and other whitespace (or lack thereof)
yuckiness and i thought it might have been an editor thing.
