Hi Bryan,

The main patch (#2) is too complex for me to review, but on accepting 
that as is, the other patches look quite reasonable.  I will give them a 
proper spin when I do a testing build later.

I just wanted to point out that you should not to get too discouraged 
about the number of resubmits required for your patches.  Everybody who 
submits patches here goes through the same thing, especially with their 
first patch and yours are quite ambitious. You should see the changes 
required any time I touch the pacman code...

Keep up the good work,
Allan
