According to Richard Dawe:

Could somebody refresh my memory on what is the problem with the
current CBFalconer version, please. This one I think we should try to
integrate. 

(Actually I'm pretty discouraged that it hasn't been included. As I saw
it, it just slipped in. Yes, that was without regard to previous
commited improved interface with regard to malloc debugging, so I
understand that there might be problems.)

Can't we just add the ones that are ready? It won't be prefect but
perhaps better that nothing?

Yeah, sure! Shouldn't this (request for help) go to djgpp instead of
djggp-workers? (I'm willing to make an announcement and to try to
herd/contain the volunteers for a couple of months. (I don't forsee an
huge interest.)


I'm not promising anything. But I should have some time during
Christmas. What do you want me to focus on? (Personally FAQ and
malloc() I think.)

Or I might get a compulsory coding <whatever> (something else, not
DJGPP i. e.), so no promises.


Did I mention that I won't promise anything? Even if we decide to push
some DJGPP release into 2004?


Right,

PS. I might not even be connected between 24/12 to ~13/01. (Did I
mention that I won't promise anything?)
DS.
