 From his messages to this list, it seems Baho has actually been 
rebuilding our complete repository. It is convenient to have those fixes 
applied. But I would rather have Baho report the problems and fixes 
upstream to the projects instead of here. Most projects will gladly fix 
any compile problems with recent compilers.
