Ok, I'm back from the US (but don't start bombarding me with email quite
yet, I have problems keeping up with old stuff..), and I made a 1.3.60
kernel available with the patches that have accumulated during my
absense.

The 1.3.60 patch is a bit larger that I'd have hoped for, but it isn't
too bad. The changes are:

- minor cross-compilation Makefile changes (defines to make it easier
to set up the cross-compile environment)
- "make menuconfig" and "make xconfig" changes
- various minor SMP fixes (mainly making debugging optional)
- floppy driver update
- sbpcd driver update
- serial driver race condition bugfix
- various network driver fixes
- NCR5380 SCSI driver update
- msdos modularization changes (allow for VFAT filesystem too)
- inode attribute update fixes ("touch" works over NFS etc)
- ncpfs bugfix
- ax25 and other networking fixes

Many of the patches have been available in the unofficial patch-kits put
out by Alan Cox, and if I have missed any please _do_ contact me,
because I wouldn't be in the least surprised if I overlooked a mail or
two (or a hundred of them).
