should be relatively easy... as an alternative I could also just add the
winboard sources and put a tar-ball with the winboard source up for
download without any other modifications and we just don't change
version numbers yet. Or we get just test your refactoring patch to
include it too in 4.4.2 ;)

What does everyone else think about those three options?

Anyway, it will have to wait until tomorrow or Sunday until I will have
time to do it.
