Thanks Mike.
Yes, I mean to provide the patches against the latest release+patchset.
I would like to see them included, so the crucial part of my question
is whether it would be proper to submit any incremental patches for
inclusion even while the port itself is, in some ways, incomplete; or
whether I should have everything right and submit it all at once.
It seemed a matter better decided by the discretion of those who would
actually approve and include it than by myself.
