Hi Volker,

I also want to enable some gcc optimisations (cloog/ppl) and take some
of the learnings from the multi-target patch (gmake
target-specific-variables) and apply them to the positional variables
($(1) and $(2)) in the package *.mk files. These are independent of
any other changes, but would be better early in a release cycle.

I think the current tip is fairly stable and up-to-date, and now may
be a good time to start preparing for the next release? For me, there
are no open short-term issues or package updates (postgres 9.1 and qt
4.8 on the horizon).

Cheers,

Tony
