I presume that at some point Michael will have more free time than
he does now; we cannot expect him to do the work exactly in sync with
an arbitrarily-scheduled commit fest. Since ECPG stuff isn't really
blocking anything else, I have no problem with waiting till he does
have time. But in the meantime, I think it's probably true that
breaking things down into independently-reviewable patches might be
helpful.

(On the other hand, there are already four separate patches for ECPG
in the queue ... does it really need to be broken down more than
that?)
