Gee, I just saw that x264 entered and that xvid is getting in. :-) That's so
darned good. I wish that I were at this year's debconf...

Regarding a release, the best thing would, perhaps, to backport a few select
patches to the version 3.98.4, as the code is entering a beta phase and we
have not done much coordination---well, actually, Robert already tagged a
3.99b0 release, but he said not so much ago that we would be on vacation...

For the record, I am maintaining a git mirror of the CVS repository at:

    https://github.com/rbrito/lame/tree/origin

For some weird reason when I converted the repository with git cvsimport,
the "right" branch where everything is happening is the branch `origin`.
Don't use `master`.

The patch came word-wraped (perhaps that's SF mailing list software?), but I
fixed it and then applied. See commit e8e86c0d.


Thanks.
