Hmm, ds4 shouldn't require xc ... oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, that does kinda
suck. Just force the xcursor stuff and it should all be good.

Oh, I see. Well, if that's in #003, that's changed recently, and someone needs
to be thwapped; my 20030804 snapshot doesn't have that as an original line in
#003.

Sorry, I misunderstood you here; you're right, if #003 does really have cpp-3.2
as an original line.

I've moved house on very short notice, and don't have a functional net
connection, really; I don't have the time to work on it with exams and
assessments, either. I'm planning to do it in a couple of weeks, but in the
meantime it's up to Branden or someone else to merge it. I suggest sending a
full patch to the list and trying to get someone to merge it.

Cool, nice one.

I don't see why you shouldn't upload it to experimental now.
