Jeff,

Did you had special reason not to squash patches 8-10 into 6-7 in the
1st place?

Well is all water under the bridge now, but I had thought of just
merging Julia's patches into Gangfeng's original series, the only
reason I did not was that the fixes were not by the original author, so
Julia would have lost the recognition for fixes.  Had the the original
series not compiled or was functionally broken, I would have required
Gangfeng to re-spin the original series.
