[Aharon Robbins]

Greetings. Re this.  (I sent you one note that I forgot to cc
to the list, so I'm starting over. Sigh.)

Gawk 3.1.1 has been frozen, but not yet uploaded to the GNU ftp site.
When that happens I'll mail announcements to the right places.  In the
meantime, about your patches:

0. Thanks for the sending them.  Some of them will be in gawk 3.1.2,
   as follows.

1. gawk-3.1.0-comments.patch    --- this will get included.

2. gawk-3.1.0-emalloc.patch     --- this won't.  I like emalloc the way
   it is.  Sorry.

3. gawk-3.1.0-fw_alloc.patch    --- this will be included.

4. gawk-3.1.0-if_not_fw.patch   --- I'll think about this some. It may
   be included.

5. gawk-3.1.0-parsefield.patch  --- this won't.  I don't like declaring
   functions using typedefs such that it looks like I'm declaring variables.

6. gawk-3.1.0-procinfo_fs.patch --- this is reasonable and will be
   included.

7. gawk-3.1.0-strtod.patch      --- this is already fixed in 3.1.1.

Thanks!
