- git-klibc has been dropped due to very bad parallel-make problems.

- Added a new line to the boilerplate, below!

- Added Sam's lxdialog tree, as git-lxdialog.patch. You no longer need
x-ray spectacles to read the menuconfig screens.

- Lots of random patches. Many of them are bugfixes and I shall, as usual,
go through them all identifying 2.6.18 material. But I can miss things, so
please don't be afraid to point 2.6.18 candidates out to me.

I also have, as usual, a number of bugfixes agains the git trees. I'll
send these to the maintainers until they stick and then I lose track of
them. So don't be afraid to send reminders to the subsystem maintainers
either.

Just had this come out on the console:

(x86_64 - maybe unwinder related?)

I've applied only one patch to the generic -rc2-mm1 that is in the newer -mm - the x86_64-unwinder-fix.patch. That fixed the problem I had with the backtraces repeating over and over until the kernel panicked.
