For those following along with this thread, Jörg has either chosen not
to respond to Message-ID: <87abpqdivx.fsf@benfinney.id.au>
<URL:87abpqdivx.fsf@benfinney.id.au">http://mid.gmane.org/87abpqdivx.fsf@benfinney.id.au>, or is not
reading the list in which this discussion is taking place. Either of
which are his own problem to fix.
