FYI, I've rebased my local queue and pushed it to the public repository
[1]. Note that except for the head of the queue, patches are not tested (may not
even compile), but it's a first step at seriously rebooting the project.

I've also started splitting some of the series into separate branches to ease
their development in parallel (devel-*).

PS: if you had a previous checkout, you might need to get it again (or do some
    tedious checkout+rm+merge+checkout sequence), since I'm developing all these
    series using stgit (which rewrites the story).
