Please drop the `test' marker. The GNU version becomes `curr',
my version either `prev' or dropped completely. I'm going to drop
the `test' marker for the units package either.
You're the maintainer of `which' then, ok? I just want to make clear
that I don't maintain `which' anymore after the change to the GNU
version.
And again, I don't have any personal problem with that. I appreciate
that you're proactively moving over to the GNU version. It makes
sense to use it, as you mentioned in your other posting.
