 I guess it is always a bit of a problem from my side, as if I see a
patch posted to the mail alias, I sort of assume that people want it added
to the standard distributions.  Ones which fix bugs are pretty obvious,
but ones with new features are a little less clear.

 So I guess it would be helpful for anyone posting patches to the list
to please make it clear whether they want that patch/feature added to
the standard distribution and whether or not they think the patch is
usuable as is, or needs more work.

 I certainly don't direct this thread just to Christian, as the this has
happened other times and will happen in the future.  It will just make
things easier for me with that additional information.

 Thanks.
