New/repeat flag changes?  I think I must have missed that in the
deluge; do you have a pointer to discussion?  Tnx.

(And I may build 0.20.2 on my old OS fairly soon, so I don't need to
reinstall anything kernel-side, but I'm worried that it'll take more
memory; these machines currently use a enormous amount of memory
buffering a large number of ivtv cards against glitches, so I'll need
to do some careful benchmarking to see if 20 is a lot piggier than 18.
And I'll have to make sure it can still support my 350; I know there
are issues w/recent kernels and recent ivtv's, but I'm hoping 20 and
old ivtv will continue to work while they get sorted out.  I'm sorta
hoping to put everything off until Gutsy's really out [and then maybe
build from svn after Gutsy sorts out everything else], but if not I'll
just have to do the lirc/ivtv/etc recompiling I did to install 18
under Breezy, etc.  Plus my own automation that assumes things about
the way 18 represents things; that's another reason I've been holding
off for the moment.)
