I apologize for not being able to find more time to devote to the native-comp branch. (I did work on it silently by preparing my main development system to be ready for building the branch, which turned out to be a non-trivial project, for reasons that will remain unsaid, as they aren't interesting to anyone but myself. I also try to speak up when issues emerge on which I have something useful to say.) Thank you for your perseverance and all the hard work you invest in this important feature. Please don't give up. We _will_ merge this branch soon, I hope.
