minitics patch

[Eddie K. <ko...@cs...>]

Hi,

Over three years ago Harald Harders and I submitted a patch that  
supports explicit minitics, as well as minitics when tics are  
supplied explicitly.  It's simple and adds obviously missing  
functionality in what seems a pretty sensible way.  It was not  
applied because the whole subsystem should be redone, or some such  
reason, I don't remember exactly what.  Of course the subsystem has  
not been redone and three years have passed.

It's frustrating to try to contribute to a cool project and get  
neither traction nor feedback.  Could someone just go ahead and apply  
a version of sourceforge patch #1104018 (the current version of  
#594815/#835235), or tell us how improve the patch?

Thanks very much, and sorry for the frustration.
