That would be neat.

I'd say, both.

That might be the case, but would require that the messages to the  
alioth.debian.org alias are forwarded to an e-mail address that is  
read often enough to be useful. I'm not sure this is always the case,  
so to be on the safe side, it would be good to also include  
nut-commits here.

Please do.

The most recent build failure was probably caused by the fact that I  
was using TortoiseSVN on a Windows system to commit this change. I'm  
experimenting a little with this setup, since it allows me to work on  
other locations in the house as well. I was quite surprised that it  
'only' choked on this (although I still haven't figured out what  
exactly went wrong).

Best regards, Arjen
