Sure, I understand that just copying the file over isn't the right
solution now. If I may suggest, I'd at least mention in comments the
Synapse SVN revision to which the synchronization has been performed so
that future re-sync efforts may be limited only to differences since the
mentioned revision.

What was your key for deciding which changes to include and which not? As
an example, the OS/2 support mentioned above has apparently not been
merged by you. I can obviously do that part myself, but I wonder if there
is some other stuff which you decided not to include.

Do I understand it correctly that you do not intend to provide the FPC
extensions to Lukas Gebauer? I would probably try to do it myself in that
case.
