Okay - good plan. I AM trying to balance doing my own day-to-day work,
and writing slides for a conference but I'm sure you and Frederic are
just as pressed for time as me, so lets go-ahead and divide it up!
That will prevent us from doing redundant work.
I assume the target is 2.6.35 so, we have a little bit of time anyway.

I suggest we divide up a) and b) first and postone c) until the first
parts are done.

Arranging our names by alphabetical order and shuffling the files
off one at a time (for variety), I get this. Is everybody happy with that?
36 files / 3 = 12 files each.
Jan - speak up if you want in.
