Avati, Bala is evaluating your patch. He has not committed your patch
yet. I would prefer you to send a whole new single patch.

Al, Avati has been contributing to GNU FreeIPMI consistently, It is
time we invite him to core team.  He is also planning to take the
ipmi-sensors (C based) and ipmi-sold tasks.

Contributions from Avati so far:
* rewrite of bmc-config in C
* clean way to check guile version during build
* large patch for gcc-4.0 compatibility
* large patch for ISO C99 compliance replacing non-standard data types
  (bug #11210)
* ipmi-sel: fall back to /tmp if home is missing (bug #14926)
* ipmi-sel: delete range support.
* bmc-autoconfig: new tool
* garpd: new tool

Bala and I are OK. I want your opinion.

Please check with Jim too. Don't know if Ian is listening. 3 out of 5
core-team votes will do.

Happy Hacking,
