+I've queued 1-4 for merging. Any patches that might break the build\r
+(e.g. 5 and 6 in this series) have to go in pretty quick if they are to\r
+be in 0.18; patch 7 we can sort out during the freeze.\r
+\r
+I'm not sure I completely understand the state of the discussion around\r
+patch 5. Personally I don't like either undefined or empty RST2MAN as a\r
+boolean a priori. I'd rather keep HAVE_RST2MAN for consistency.\r
