Joachim, thanks for clarifying your solution which seems like a good one to
me. But since msdev is unaffected, and the rest is experimental I think we
should keep it out of 5.2.0 as you originally proposed (but which I didn't
understand until now) just to simplify my life at this critical time.  Olof,
if you agree with what Joachim is proposing would you please evaluate and
assemble the patch for me say on a time scale of a week or two from now?

Thanks in advance.

Alan
