Yeah, it was a bit trickier than just resolving the few conflicts that 
CVS found, but not as difficult as I'd feared.


BTW, if you're looking for a challenging candidate to untangle, have a
look at the rtsock.c code!  The entire rtsock.c file is #include'd in
the rtsock_50.c compat code, and bits and pieces of rtsock.c are
basically disabled by #ifdef COMPAT_RTSOCK which in turn is defined in
by rtsock_50.c
