Hi Sylvain,

thank you for you answer. I wouldn't dare to use that diff :-) because I 
don't know exactly what it's doing. Besides, I'd rather the 1-6 package. 
It must be there somwhere, I even recall reading about some kind of 
archive on this list, but I just can't find that message.

Best regards,
Andrei
