Agreed. The main reason I didn't manage to do much, if any, reviewing
this time is that everytime I started I had to browse through a
bazillion emails trying to find what to do. By the time I was through
that and had written a comment or two, I had no more time to work on
reviews right then. Next time I got started, I got stuck in the same
cycle. (and yes, that's generally because I haven't had much time to
look at these things at all during this commit-fest).

I know that blaming the tools is just an easy escape and sucks as an
excuse. But I just didn't have the time to work out a way to workaround
the limits of these tools to make it possible for me to get this done.
The new version of the patch queue that's up now seems a lot more
usable than it used to be, but it used to be really horrible :-P

I still plan to do the win32 patch that's listed with my name, BTW.
Just need to get my build environments properly sorted out.
