It's been 9 months since I last looked at this.  I've been watching the 
work on the mailbox framework, with considerable interest, over the last 
week, but have not actively done anything with it.

I have a few other projects at the moment, and given that I only do this 
in my spare time in the evenings, it will take several days to get back 
into it.  But I will make an effort to import, build, and try them out. 
In the meantime I've had a brief look at the changes that you made and 
can see nothing wrong with any of them.  The "useless gotoes" were 
embarrassing.

Although I can pull your changes back into my tree, I don't feel that 
this will be helpful in getting them accepted into the mainline. But I'm 
happy enough to format a patch and submit it somewhere, at some point.

Cheers,
Craig.
