Hi Robert,

I think the best way to proceed is that I simply apply the
patch.  This is definitely the best way to get people to test it.

I would like to ask that you - at least for a while - become
the responsible person for the generic exporter.
Wes is, I guess, too busy or not interested right now.  So if
you could please look at any additional patches for he general
exporter and make a recommendation as to wether to apply them
and what changes are necessary.

I have just applied al your 7 patches and pushed the result.

Can you please get in touch with tomas@tuxteam.de and see if
and what has to be done with his patch?

Thanks, in particular for your patience.

- Carsten
