Christof,
Anything new to report on Stack and Tile?  Is there a newer patch
available?  Seems there's been many recent changes to the files that get
patched so the older patch is a mess to apply now.  Has the research
programmer started working on it yet or is that still to come?  Any idea on
if/when the code will be moved into Haiku's svn?
