I can do that, although I strongly recommend against using pserver
*at all*.

>We need this feature for savannah, so we will continue to use it,

Is this the only feature not in 1.12.13 you absolutely need?

>But if it was made into an official release it would be much better (IMHO).

I can’t talk official release yet, but I can ensure it will land
in the next Debian stable. You can take the Debian package once
it’s uploaded to unstable and recompile it on Trisquel then (I can
also do that for you if you tell me which CPU architecture binaries
you need and if you trust binaries from me enough), best in a clean
minimal chroot (e.g. with cowbuilder or sbuild).

Help is appreciated; I cannot do much for Windows and lack VMS
totally, although I do have a contact for OS/2 who might help
if asked, as other software of mine (mksh) is extremely well-
ported, but it does not use the GNU infrastructure for that.
