it's debatable if anyone's "responsible". but I'm the person who's been
integrating patches. (it runs about 10 days apart because I work on other
programs - and work during the daytime; recently a little strained because
I was working on a project with some students).
I'm interested - sure. If it looks (or sounds) too "experimental",
it'll have to be ifdef'd so that people don't get burned.

it sounds like we may integrate this early in the 2.8.3 cycle -- there's
some good reasons to put out a release before moving to other stuff
(the gettext integration and buffer-overflow fixes).
