By "core CVS development tree", do you mean what's in CVS at :pserver:address@hidden:/home2/cvsroot? If so, that code is built every night on a bunch of different platforms and the sanity tests run. It works just fine -- what problems did you have compiling it?
The makefiles are corrupt (at least on the Linux box I tried it on). It doesn't even start compiling. There's also a missing variable (client_active) referenced in 4 or 5 places in the code.
As for "latest patches", there are boat-loads of patches running around loose, most of them ill-conceived and poorly implemented; naturally, they've not been incorporated into the official release. (Of course, there are a few gems that haven't been incorporated, either; separating the wheat from the chaff is a difficult and time-consuming process and we don't have a paid development staff, you know.)
'edit -c' has been around for almost 2 years... The core code looks pretty stagnant if it's that far behind. You don't need paid development staff - I've worked on many projects that didn't have such staff.
