On the contrary: I'm glad you did (since I see you did the upload in the meanwhile).

That's precisely what I was about to propose. I don't expect so many fixes
either, but if there are some, I'll provide you with a diff and comments, and
let you update the generating scripts to your liking, since I'm unable to edit
ruby efficiently.

Ok, I'll have a look at it, and try to write/edit a little something.

A first glance it will never be a problem for the reason you mention. I'll have
a second thought at it tomorrow just to be sure. Thanks for the info.
