No, it really requires that Ray Donnelly *contribute* the patch. That is
different.


Also, folks informed us of at least one place where a patch posted to the
list by Kai in the past from the LDC / redstar.de work contained copied
copyrighted material that Kai did not hold the rights to, and was not
available under *any* license. This is really concerning, and it means that
any significant contributions from this body of work need to be very
carefully audited for other places where this has happened. I'm not sure of
any good way to do that at this point.

This isn't to say we don't want to support the win64 ABI and exception
handling stuff, we really do (and thanks for working on it!), but we need
to be careful about how we do it.

My suggestion if you want to move this forward quickly would be for folks
who are interested author their own patches independently, without any
reference to or basis on existing work, and contribute that patch. That is
what folks here are planning to do for their ABI work.
