Is this really worth reposting the whole pile? I mean this is at v9,
each doing little changes. It is quite tiresome to barely get to a
bookmarked version just to find out that there are 2 new versions out.

I am sorry to be grumpy and I can understand some frustration it doesn't
move forward that easilly but this is a _big_ change. We should start
with a real high level review rather than doing small changes here and
there and reach v20 quickly.

I am planning to find some time to look at it but the spare cycles are
so rare these days...
