Yup, after the recent updates that went upstream, I re-created more
cleanly my git tree. To keep it clean, I took my time to try out several
git feature and stuff before publishing result. For now the bcomm is
available as a patch and I posted the URL recently.

The splitted vesion should be uploaded tomorrow, I'll make sure I use
the latest microcode (compare with the one sent by John) but It's
getting late here.

If you don't get up too early, it should be done by the time you get up ;)
