Bah.  33.6 is fast enough for CVS.  That's no excuse.  :-)

Honestly though, that is wonderful!  Good OSS work can bring money after all!  
:-)

My buglist (in priority)
[ is bug 54 still correct?  After the patch I sent?? ]
190 <doc> block (I submitted a patch for this but didn't hear back)
182 successive XMLRPC calls don't work
194: clipboard reading from inside thread
175/177/178: especially string.fromCharCode (i.e. do NOT remove the ability to 
use __proto__.constructor.* if you haven't got all object functions 
implemented)
37: Mousewheel support
191 xwt.trace() function

Have a great vacation,
Andrew
