                                           http://www.bzimage.org

                   *       Ok this seems to be stable. The changes in ac3 are actually
                   *       all queued fixes from before the merge
                   *
                   *       The bits outstanding are the vm changes which I want to take
                   *       very slowly, and the min/max thing which needs to be dealt with.
