Speaking for myself, that's true -- I'm not really working on HEAD
ATM, but I do have a number of things that should go into HEAD once
I'm ready -- i.e a month or two ago I got GMP working for bignums.  If
we can decide how to handle the licensing, those changes can go in.

In any case, now that various issues in my real-life have settled
down.  I'm now starting back up work on the release, FWIW.  I'd like
to give you a schedule, but I can't yet.  However, I should have a new
status update posted in less than a week.

I will look back at this patch.  I'd also like to hear if Marius (or
anyone else) has any comments.

Wow, that's annoying -- do you know if this is an arch dependency, OS
dependency, etc?
