No need to fool with rejects. The patch was generated using sed,
manually applying it will be more work and also miss new usages of the
datatypes. The patch was for the Ubuntu package of 0.5.3+some patches
and was actually meant as an example, not as a patch which could
readily be applied to cvs head. I just wanted to discuss the issue and
solution first.

Right, but patching configure makes sense for the Ubuntu package.

I will create a new clean patch against hal CVS HEAD, now that there
seems to be an agreement to use the proposed solution.

Thanks,

Martin
