To me, it seems that there are *exactly two* viable alternatives regarding your source code. Either we manage to merge your changes with the main version, or we forget about it altogether. IIRC, *you* are the one who says that your code is vastly superior to ours, but I have only seen a seriously broken Arachne version so far where you deliberately changed the coding style for no other reason than to make merging it back as hard as possible it seems. You really do not need to find arguments to persuade me that merging your source code in whole would be a waste of time, because I am already leaning towards that opinion. I would prefer to do with your sources what I do with the Linux sources; that is, use them as a software repository but do not try to improve them. > I don't want to merge!
