Oops.  I got some messages about CR's being stripped when I applied your 
patches but I didn't think about that when I added dlist.h.  I'll do a 
search for DOS-formatted text files and update any that I find.  It's my 
fault for saving your attachments from Thunderbird in Windows.

Have you tried Vim under Syllable?  If you set the Terminal background 
color to white then the color syntax highlighting looks pretty good. 
It's nice being able to use the same editor on Linux, Windows and 
Syllable.  But I assume you are using Linux on your laptop for other 
reasons.  Out of curiosity, what 802.11 driver are you using, if any? 
One of these days I would like to try to port the madwifi driver from 
Linux so I can use the Atheros chipset in my Fujitsu.  I had to upgrade 
the version of madwifi in FreeBSD a while back when I was using that OS 
on my laptop so I know my way around the code a little bit.

Anyway, if you haven't already, please merge your work with the current 
version of the kernel ("Build 0002") in CVS.  Arno's patches changed a 
number of function names and moved a few things around, so it'll be a 
lot easier for me to integrate your next set of scheduler diffs when 
you're ready.  I haven't yet merged your first two sched-cleanup 
patches, but I'm assuming that I just need to change LIST_ to DLIST_. 
I'll post a message here when I've committed those patches so you could 
also wait until then to sync up.
