I have been rather busy with other stuff. There is however some patches
that could be looked independently.

"pretty make patch"

[PATCH] GSoC #03 Menu viewer interface

[PATCH] GSoC #04 Multiple fallback entries

[PATCH] GSoC #05 Menu entry class attribute

- I do not like usage of '|' to separate arguments. So it would need to
be either used as is, or menu parser would need work.

I have started with those video subsystem improvements and have
committed some of those (with modifications) already. And also some
simple changes or bugfixes has already went. You can easily track
patches with comments about commit that has went in. (I use threaded
mail view to make things visually easy to process)

There are still some video subsystem related stuff and then the new font
engine that are next on my list.

Also "[PATCH] GSoC #10 font tools" needs a bit discussion. And also can
we use Lua for scripting (I think there is thread somewhere about that).

Our second GSoC project for USB needs a bit more testing and perhaps
some cleanups (Marco & Robert any comments?).
