Yes, I think that was not duplicate work either. Thanks for tracking  
those issues down.

I am still working on the patch rebasing itself (no test build, yet).  
I want to keep the diff as minimal as possible, but the X.Org devs  
re-formatted their files, so the patches got polluted with a lot of  
white space overhead. I am now through with re-editing all files  
(yawn... boring task) and will start test-building (fixing macros et  
al.) tomorrow. (My notebook died yesterday and I am on my old notebook  
now, so things got delayed here).

I'll be as fast as I can to get something usable out.

@Mihai: I guess, you haven't got the above info. Please wait with  
3.5.0.x (or, if ok with you, re-do).

Greets,
Mike
