As always, you're welcome!

(Although the fact that ct-ng is at 1.11 and ppl is at 0.11 managed to
confuse me a bit today... need more sleep.)

A quick question: for this style of fix (same patch applied to
multiple versions of a given package): should we duplicate the text
(as I did in this patch) or should we try to do some sort of
symlinking instead?  For small patches like this, the space
consumption isn't an issue, although it could be for larger patches.
I'm more interested in the "fix it in one place" feature that symlinks
would provide.

I don't know how well hg (or any SCM, really) handles symlinks, tho.

Anyway. Just a thought/question.

Best regards,
Tony
