 Thanks for the heads-up!  At this stage however someone at Mentor will 
have to make such a statement on behalf of the company as I am no longer 
there and as far as this patch set is concerned I am merely a member of 
the public who can just make technical comments as anyone can, including 
you.

 I think Thomas, being the writer of the majority of code comprising these 
patches, is now in the best position to make such a statement happen.  
Thomas -- will you be able to take it from here?  Thanks!
