I think it's worth converting; it's sufficiently better than nothing,
IMO, that we don't want to just throw it away. If we bring it up to
current formatting standards and make it more accessible, it just might
motivate others to help make it better. So if you feel like sending me a
current patch set, I'd be happy to apply it.
Thanks,
jon
