This is correct but has nothing to do with the topic <g>
Martin sounded a bit like if he were complaining about my lack to backport
a patch for a database engine consisting of many C/C++ lines to another
version. Whereas I was of the opinion that it is nice if some programmer could
do this but this ability is not regarded as "required" by a maintainer.
but lets drop this topic, we're getting boring.
