Hi Greg,

I am surprised and happy about getting all the feedback and ideas how to
improve. Wow!

Can you tell me, how this is going on? Do I need to collect all those patches,
evaluate and test them or is it done automatically?

Do you perhaps need diffrent kind of help from me?

Concerning the error on M68k and the warning on sh I have an idea, but I am not
100% sure how to fix that. If I need to find a solution I would appreciate
having the option to have a short discusion with someone a little bit more
experienced....

Cheers,

Marcus
