Thanks Thomas!

Although... you may have misread (or maybe I mistyped :), but what I
actually intended [1] was for you to rebase *only* your fixes on top of
my rebased series (e.g. see "tjost-fixes.patch" in att), so you could
receive proper credit for cleaning up my mess.

Also, while my apprehension [2,3] re the inclusion of the SCREEN/DTACH
prereq in patches #4,5,6 didn't have much merit (it's an all-or-nothing
affair anyways), the issue [3] in patch #5 @ "Reply within emacs" still
stands: `sed' will run unconditionally, and treat "EMACS" as an input
file.  (see "sed-prereq-fix.patch" in att).


Thanks again!
