I'm CC-ing Kbwms AT aol DOT com as I'm not sure (s)he's on this list (thanks
Eli for the coder's email).

Ok. Should we

0. wait for the long double versions to to complete,

1. add the non-long double versions and add the long double versions
later, or

2. add what we got right now.


I'm willing to do any of the above. A plus would be if we could do
this the nearest days as I think I'll have some time DJGPP _NOW_. If
we delay a week, my window of time is probably lost and we'll have to
wait a year or two or so...

This is not to put pressure on anyone. It's ok whatever happens; I'm
just stating my time availability.


Right,
