Mmm.  Unfortunately I answer to a higher order than work or X.Org, so I
have been instructed (under penalty of death, or worse than, for
non-compliance) to go seek photos of Copenhagen while I'm visiting
today, and then I fly to London tomorrow.  But the hotel in London has
free internet access, so I should get it sorted tonight/tomorrow mostly,
with some overflow into Monday.

The other thing I'd like to throw up is benh's upcoming PowerPC patch,
which IMHO is really, really, really important.
