As I can not proveide CVS access, my guess is that you will have to pass it
to me ..

However I was wondering how your are going to parse the new options ?
GLOBAL_SAFE and GLOBAL_MODE for example ...

As far as I understood it is not part of you configuration code ...
Correct me if I am wrong ...

Thank you for the work already done ..

I got distracted by some travel, and not feeling well for a few days,
followed by having to prepare some viewgraphs for a talk at LWCE in
January. Other than that I haven't had anything to do ;-)

I started the process, but haven't written much code - and I'd be happy to
give the little bit I've written to you. I have only a small attachment to
doing it myself - but I haven't done it so far... Do you anticipate that
this will interact heavily with your changes?

If you want to do it, then have at it! I'd strongly suggest doing it in
phases like I described. I'd be happy to talk to you about it and review
your code if you'd like to do it. Heaven knows I've got too much to do, and
don't need to do any work I can give away.
