I guess I would be slightly more comfortable if someone with more
experience with the emacs codebase (like you) wanted to merge the two
branches together.  It seems like a lot to ask, but you did volunteer
:).  However, it sounds like it's a small thing so if you want to back
out, I can probably manage.

Well, that would keep me out of everyone's hair -- if someone will
give me commit privileges, that is.  Who do I ask?  Otherwise I'll
have to ask somebody to keep committing my intermediate work.

Won't that make *more* work when things are integrated?
