Good. :-)

I had a quick look at it, I was willing to do it before the release but
then there are quite a lot of changes to the configure.ac file to make and
we need to think about them carefully and test them (else we won't be
fixing much but only adding more confusion), it sounds tricky to do in a
hurry and I have to go away for the weekend, so my vote would be for doing
it after the release - unless you are interested in doing it yourself now,
which of course would be fine for me.

Thanks
