Yes, I will start today doing this. It may take one or two days.

Unfortunately I have been very busy the last few months so I had to stop following this newsgroup completely.
This seems to have lead to some double efforts. I will checkout actual CVS versions of _doprnt.c today and I will
try to adapt my patch against actual work. The important issue is that my code contains the functionality
needed for get GNU gettext working (especially the %n$ and *n$ issue). Because I had to submit that version to
the GNU gettext maintainer, I would like to see my code getting syncronized with actual CVS _doprnt.c
I will either remove my code, or adjust it, or in a last resort, I will have to remove your code from _doprnt.c
Please let _doprnt.c one or two days unaltered, so I can adjust and submit my proposed changes.

TIA,
Juan Manuel Guerrero
