I really don't know if it is worth all the effort (well mine and a few others) of pulling those changes onto a branch. All the C++ fixes, the HP/UX host stuff and so on.

Just a postscript to this. Because the FSF would like to be able to
spin out a manual based on a current release but are currently fixing
things I'll very likely end up spinning out a 5.1.1 or 5.1.0.2 (ulgh)
anyway. The latter is far far easier.
However I do still have a preference for cutting 5.2 rather than spend
lots of effort getting fixes into the 5.1 branch.
I guess the question I'm asking here is, how much stuff has been added
to the 5.1 branch that might break things making a fast 5.1.1 a high
risk activity.
