[+ indicates stuff that went to Marcelo, o stuff that has not,
* indicates stuff that is merged in mainstream now, X stuff that proved bad and was dropped out, - indicates stuff not relevant to the main tree]
The HP merge is now down to 3918 lines pending
Again treat this one with care. The patch is now a lot smaller as much has been integrated. Marcelo merged highio and while Andre did already have the hooks in place this build has not been tested with highio.
