I think that the best bet for getting this done speedily is to first have  
issue 2206 go through the wranglers.  Its last iteration is still in  
Patch-new state.

Since the convert-ly rule set is quite more complex than the last one, it  
makes sense to put it through countdown again.

My laptop's screen broke down yesterday.  I have been reviving my previous  
laptop (which I repaired after getting a replacement), but it means that I  
am working on a single CPU setup with about 1GHz, and it appears to be  
quite slower than one would think it should when compared to my "main"  
laptop (factor 2).  Probably some memory or disk bandwidth shortage.  As a  
result, a doc build plus make check takes about 3 hours, and that is not  
hyperbole.  In addition, either because of the font setup or because of a  
CPU fault in the old computer, I get frequent floating point errors in the  
editor, typically crashing it.  Crashes were reduced after recompiling it  
without Gtk support, but the fp errors (things like truncate 0.01 or  
something get flagged, making it likely that the error flag is actually set  
by something else and then interpreted at the wrong time) continue and give  
not all that much confidence in the results.

Repairs seem not likely to be worth the money, a replacement (this time  
dual processors might make sense) would be a few hundred Euros even when  
bought second hand.  So my rate of contributions (at least those that  
require testing) is severely affected.
