 Hi Tilghman,
Thanks for the response. I totally understand the pain of people not
following coding guidelines. I have been working as a contractor for last 10
years, and seen a lot of that.

I have gone through the coding guide lines, couple of times, and probably
will go over it couple of more times, in near future :), to make sure that I
incorporate it in my code.

Also thanks for clearing that janitor patches should  be made against trunk.
I was wondering on that.

Let me try to get my first patch ready and then I can ask for the
contributer license. I am currently working on the janitor project "Convert
all existing uses of astobj.h to astobj2.h". Hopefully I can have a patch
out in next couple of days.

See you on IRC sometime..

Thanks again for your help..
Regards
Deep
