Seems like a good idea. I don't really know who controls that directory, though; I can ping Konstantin and see what can be done there. Failing that, I'd be more than happy to put it up on lwn, of course. > And whats about those who have 1.3 (or any version >1.2) as default > in the linux distro?

I would hope that most people wouldn't have to worry about it, and would be able to just use what their distribution provides - that's the reason for the 1.2 compatibility requirement in the first place. I'll make a point of having a 1.2 installation around that I can test things with; that should suffice to catch any problems that sneak in. Thanks, jon
