I've flushed my queue over the last weeks; nothing significant is pending
right now. At the moment I'm trying to stabilize patch for the next stable
release, which is supposed to happen in about a month's time. Anything major

Patches are welcome. (I hope you won't mind the GNU copyright assignment /
disclaimer paperwork.)
