I'd even be happy with the current stuff being shoved into mainline even if it doesn't build for a few days until it gets fixed --- not having a common point of reference is really quite frustrating. There are a ton of white-space cleanups and sparsification changes that could be done too --- I assume this would be best done *before* a giant-patch merge? --cw
