My pleasure; thanks for the patch.

I particularly like that I can test sugar*-0.88 directly on my XO by running
something comparable to 

   yum install git-core gcc glibc-devel make vim
   git clone git://dev.laptop.org/users/mstone/sugar; cd sugar
   make xo-builddeps
   env PREFIX=/usr ./configure
   make; make install

I also like how easy it is to consider patches that touch multiple subsystems
in their entirety.

Neat!

(I haven't timed it yet myself -- I made the change soley because, for me, it
improves the signal-to-noise ratio in the codebase.)
