Out of touch fior a while

[richard]

I broke my laptop screen shortly before the end of my easter holiday, and the 
machine has now been sent in for repair and won't be done until at least next 
friday.
I have occasional use of webmail to keep track of what's going on, but I'm 
afraid I won't be doing any bugfixes/patches to the base library or responding 
to emails generally.
Hope to get back to normal in a little over a week.
