Sorry about that. That's why I put you in as the "Author" inside my
commit message.

Not even the great Oz has commit privileges to KWSys files through
git. So... we cannot just "git am -3" a patch containing KWSys fixes.

KWSys is (embarrassingly?) still hosted in a CVS repository that is
automatically replayed to our git repository via a robot that runs
frequently and periodically from a cron job. When we get patches that
change KWSys, we have to separate those into separate commits and
apply them with good old cvs commit and then wait for the robot to
apply the rest via git...

That's the best I can do.
