Good point, but at least it was nice and self-contained and not mindlessly
interdependant on other minor fixes. I think if you are going to patch in
a feature that feature should be a feature. Not 8 bugfixes and 8 seperate
minifeatures which cooperate to bring in a whole, especialy as a lot of
them are so interdependant that they would not have any effect or maybe
even break things on their own :)
