I think anyone else is out for something!  So I think +2 is enough for it.
I gonna sync it tomorrow.


The new syntax,

DEPENDS dependant1, dependant2, ...

The comma is important!

I don't think that it has something to do with being biased.  But with
lex/re2c and bison you don't do any typical c mistakes.  These mistakes
usually happen during string handling.  As long you can trust re2c and
bison you are on the save side.

I slept in a burning house in Denmark, and I can tell you it is no fun to
run out of it!

My sincere condolence!  All of you have put a lot of effort in it.  If you
need any help (but what could I do from here) just let me know.

At least nothing has happened to you and your family.
