By "core CVS development tree", do you mean what's in CVS at
:pserver:address@hidden:/home2/cvsroot?  If so, that code is
built every night on a bunch of different platforms and the sanity tests
run.  It works just fine -- what problems did you have compiling it?

As for "latest patches", there are boat-loads of patches running around
loose, most of them ill-conceived and poorly implemented; naturally,
they've not been incorporated into the official release.  (Of course,
there are a few gems that haven't been incorporated, either; separating
the wheat from the chaff is a difficult and time-consuming process and
we don't have a paid development staff, you know.)

Not that I know of.
