Please report back to this bugreport how it goes with using my 
multiflavor support in recent mainline cdbs.

If running into trouble then perhaps I van help :-)

Ahem - please do file a separate bugreport: I have too much in my head 
at the moment so even if I did read up on it recently I have lost it 
again, and would appreciate if you could summarize in a separate 
bugreport.

Please do not report back to this bugreport on that issue but file a 
_separate_ bugreport - let's shrink this one to be about multiflavor 
support.

Yes, the infrastructure is there and is used for some (but not all 
possible) classes.  It is just that _I_ haven't played with it so do not 
know if it works properly ;-)



Kind regards,
