Re: PE patches available


I've been working with DJ on creating an updated patch.
I'm convinced that Menehunes got to at least one copy,
because there's no way that some of the problems that are
inarguably there could have gotten there without a time warp :-).

Anyway, expect a new tarball (over the old one) with these
and a number of other problems fixed in a few days.
(Everythings fairly straightforward except for another go-around
on %^&#$%^^&*()&*(%^&^%*& .idata.)

(Mumit: I believe #2 is fixed in what you have, but only in
the base files; in this case automake needs to be run to move
the change up from Makefile.am to Makefile.in.)

I'll send email when it's done.
