Yes, merging is still on the todo list.  I was waiting for Jon to merge 
the JSBSim changes into the main JSBSim branch, then integrate that with 
FlightGear.  I believe that is now done (?) although the l410 might 
still be using the old config file format?

In terms of expressing wishes, it would be great if developers that 
want/need to make changes to the code work with the core developers to 
get their changes in early.  It's much harder for us to have a huge set 
of changes dropped on us all at once.  It becomes nearly impossible to 
evaluate and test and apply any kind of sanity check to the changes if 
there are too many of them covering too wide of a scope.

Regards,

Curt.
