Hi Vlad,
        I've made diff -Naur between abi-0.7.11 and wv-0.7.11 and freshly
checked out abi and wv.

I put these on my anonymous ftp server. You can download them at:

ftp://seviorpc.ph.unimelb.edu.au/pub/abi-oct24.patch.gz

and

ftp://seviorpc.ph.unimelb.edu.au/pub/wv-oct24.patch.gz

Even gzipped these patches weigh in at 333 kbytes and 83 kbytes
respectively so I can't email them to you.

If other CVS challenged developers need special help please let me know.

Cheers

Martin
