Yes. I still don't see where the need for incompatability is. Maybe I'm 
just blind. Can someone explain?

Cool. I can imagine that it was quite dificult. By the way, I think we 
should have yuppie's r11978 in it (which means we need it on Five-1.0 
branch and a Five 1.0.1 release, probably).

Gee, I would do the merge myself my laptop wasn't broken. I'm on a 
Windoze machine right now on which I quickly installed Thunderbird to be 
at least a little communicative :).
