The code isn't unmaintained, but I have been neglecting it recently due
to other commitments. I will go over your patches tomorrow and apply them
as appropriate.

I understand, but ask you to be patient for a little longer and I will
be more responsive to any bugs/patches/suggestions you submit. It's
obviously in everyone's interest to avoid another fork of the library,
and I will consider granting CVS access after looking over the bugs and
patches you've submitted, but I hope you will understand that I won't
grant it simply because you ask for it.

Thanks for your contributions, and I'm sorry you've had a bad first
impression of me as maintainer of the project.
