Hi Ken & all,

Just a quick note, following up on one point from todays call - the
point release we had tentatively set for today, will be delayed till
Wed 19th while we get our act together. :)  By we, I mean me ... the
common options code is not finished, and there's some more reviews &
merges to be done yet.

Also...

While driving-by your drive-by, it occurs to me a pmGetContextHostName_r
could be a sensible addition to the library.  Anyone want to tackle this?
We have a libpcp exports file version bump planned this release, so now
is a good time to piggyback on that.  I'll take it on, if noone claims it
it in the meantime, or points out any obvious flaws in the idea.  ;)

cheers.
