I'm guessing that's me.  I've been running a package I made of 1.2.3,
and it's working fine on my potato machine.  I sent in my application
shortly before this massive confusion over the state of new developers
arose, so anyone's guess is as good as mine as to when or if I'll be
accepted.

But anyway, recent upstream version work fine with glibc 2.1, and
package fairly easily given that it's just ./configure && make.  One
caveat -- I had to patch configure slightly, as it tries to detect for
shape extension by linking with -lXext but not -lX11, and I've sent a
bug report upstream, no response.

MASSIVELY OFFTOPIC: I'm in the DC area (live in Annandale, work in
Reston), and I'm wondering if I could get together with any developers
to sign my gpg key.  I'm a newbie to the pgp/gpg use, and I've never
had anyone sign my key, so some hand holding might be necessary.
