I don't understand our policy regarding 10.04.  Since this patch doesn't fix a
bug I don't know why we would include it on a release branch.  Presumably _if_
we release a 10.04.1 it would only contain fixes to 10.04 and not new features.

Thanks.

Any reson for not suggesting ./configure --enable-libgrades=<explicit list> ?
