Re: pcl-cvs
This stuff sounds good to me. I don't have time to look at it today,
but should in the next few days. It's too bad you didn't coordinate
ahead of time; merging may be a pain as I also made some significant
parser changes.
I haven't heard from Greg Woods in quite a while, but the plan was to
have the XEmacs changes merged back into his official version and have
him resume primary maintainership. I can't even seem to send him
email directly from here as it always bounces. If I send to the
pcl-cvs list, however, it sometimes seems to get through.
I'd really like to resolve maintainership and have a single repository
tracking all the changes. Would you want to have commit access to the
xemacs.org repository and share maintainership with me?
