OK, that's great! It's poorly reflected in this discussion thread, though.

No, it does not. But it does make me much more sympathetic towards
Daniel's efforts even though authorship info is misappropriated. It's
not as if he changed copyrights or anything malicious like that so I
do think people are making this into a bigger thing than it really is.

Anyway, I hope Daniel has the time to rebase his patches on top of
your original ones so history is preserved and we can get this stuff
merged.
