We had already decided to merge it into the trunk (the reason at the time was to get it better tested), but it looks like noone did it. Is the maintainer of that branch somewhere? I think it'd be fair to merge it in, but only if it's currently considered "fine" by the few people who tested it and if the maintainer is around so he can deal with the bug reports. Stefan
