It applies after my other pending patches.  If the conflicts are 
non-trivial, probably best to wait until we've shepherded the other 
patches through first... otherwise it's like having another patch
to test (the one that applies to HEAD now, and another that applies
to HEAD after the earlier patches are applied).  Even with arch and
quilt, reordering patches that touch the same files is a difficult
and error-prone process.

I can post you a distchecked tarball of the whole lot if that will
help your testing?

Not a problem.  We are all plenty busy, it doesn't matter in the least 
if it takes a while to polish everything in the queue.  If Peter and
I get bored of waiting, we can always review each others' patches ;-)

Cheers,
        Gary.
