Yes, and the trees have nice histories as well, which is great.

I believe it's a good start; we probably want to merge the trees eventually. 
The way how you have moved libmisc breaks the tarballs though; I have fixed 
it. Also, I was surprised that your repository has all the history rewritten 
instead of merging Christoph's trees, so I redid the merge.

Are you fine with this tree?

Sorry for being slow. I will first add the other acked distro patches, then 
look at your changes.
