For a bundle of 8 patches, it means 8 times more work for me to send
the changes one by one. The main part of this work is to
compile/install/test a libc with the patches.
However, if I could send untested patches (clearly marked as such) to
you for testing and inclusion, I would have no problem with sending
you changes as they happen in gettext/intl.

I'm sorry to say that this is not strictly the case any more. There
are some portability changes in the gettext/intl that Ulrich has
refused to put in the glibc/intl (like O_BINARY in the open()
calls). Therefore all I can do is to reduce the differences to a
minimum, but not to zero.
