 my 1/2c:
 at some point we have to stop refactoring working code in 6.x. Any new
 perturbation introduces the potential for new problems and this is
 supposed to be the stable branch. The old lib/form/open.c + d.what.vect is
 working fine on UNIX and is irrelevant elsewhere, so my vote is to just
 leave well enough alone, put things back to the way they were as much as
 possible, sync whatever bugfixes need syncing between the clones, and move
 on.

 would a more portable version of lib/form do some good in some other area,
 or is this it?


 thanks,
 Hamish
