Originally I had a bit of time left and just wanted to check the source tree
if a certain patch that I have in mind for some time now had been realized 
by someone else in the meantime.

Turned out that this is not as easy as I thought.

Can't believe that one. 

Are you telling me you handle this project without some sort of 
configuration management on your disks? Just patch sets?

Amen, brother. 

Seems typical for non super sexy projects. The free projects I work on 
have teached me the lesson that there are many folks who donate opinions 
and few who donate time and code.. :)

We're too. :)
