No no, I actually find it quite exciting! :-) Seriously, it=E2=80=99s good to see old cruft vanish. I=E2=80=99ve looked = at the commits on that branch and they all LGTM. Regarding , we=E2=80=99ve actually been using Gnulib=E2=80=99s head= ers, so most likely the difference wasn=E2=80=99t relevant anymore. So: LGTM! It would be good to have some testing on OSes other than GNU/Linux eventually (I=E2=80=99m looking at you, Greg ;-)). Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
