I'm sure noone else could have discovered this issue before. cmake was
the key! ;-)

That's an undocumented rbuild feature, called api-out-of-thin-air. To
understand how it works, you must study quantum chaos theory.

I see, with cmake, this feature works on ntdll as well ;-p

Hi!

Just a little question regarding commit-mails: Does the subject NEED to 
be the complete svn log message? This mail's subject line was that long 
that I'm not able to view the message itself in Thunderbird without 
writing a reply so that I can see the quoted message body.

Couldn't the component/system/process that converts the commits into 
mails for the diffs mailing list truncate the subject line? As far as I 
see it the log message is put into the mail's body as well and it's also 
nicer to view there because of line breaks. :)

Regards,
Sven
