Ben,

I tried to import your changesets using "hg import ..." and "patch -p1  
< your.patch", but they do not apply for me.

I assume there are some EOL problems ... which might  be introduced by  
my email client.

Can you resend them as attachements, and if you create them using "hg  
import ..." please include the hg header as well. Also John has  
committed a patch since you last pulled. That needs to be corrected as  
well.

Ben
