Okay --- here are the next steps, as I see them:
- As you say, get the patch to apply and run against current sources.
This can happen without worrying about bringing the patch in line
with current requirements for contributions: multi-arch, using new
interfaces, etc.
- Get a test suite run with those sources that we can use as a
baseline for evaluating subsequent work.
- Worry about multi-arch, new interfaces, etc. This should be pretty
easy going, since both tasks break down into (possibly large) sets
of small, mostly independent changes. It'll be easy to work
incrementally, and share the job.
