Thanks for splitting the patches.  That will help a lot.  But I would
like to ask you to do one more thing, which will make it much easier
to handle these patches.  Please submit each patch to the list
in a separate message.  That way, we can easily discuss the merits of
each patch in a separate thread on the list, and I can more easily
keep track of which ones have been applied.

Unless a patch is unusually large (say, greater than 200k) then it
would also be best if you could send them as text/plain attachments.

Thanks,
