I have applied the nanohupterm and nanodollar patches to
nano_1_2_branch. David, if you can check that I didn't miss any bit and
that the ChangeLog entries are sane, it'd be great.
I need to do a nano upload real soon now, so I'll probably include the
dollar patch too.

Oh, I had missed this one. Nice! Whenever it goes into HEAD, I'll mark
the Debian bug as "fixed-upstream".

I think 2.0.0 should be good enough.
As for the rest of the patches: wow, I wasn't aware we had so much stuff
floating. That's excellent!
