I know.  Software development is *also* a sequential process.  It was of
course only by the time that I had introduced the new stuff that I saw
what else needs to be fixed.  So the order does indeed reflect my
work-flow.  I honestly did not even think about re-ordering these
patches because of your considerations.  Is it written somewhere that I
have to fix all existing problems first before I get to add new stuff?
;)

Well, if one uses a threaded news reader, one might have seen the
summaries of all patches before actually diving in...

Cheers
