Yes, given that you already did a lot of backporting work, I suppose
that this weekend should be fine.

I can compile them, but do not hesitate to help me if you can afford the
time :-)

On Monday night I tried to run 'make distcheck' and to compile on
Windows.  Both failed somewhere near the end, that is why I have not
uploaded anything to test yet, what I actually had intended to do.  I
will give it another try tomorrow evening (at least I hope so).
