Don't rush.  I like some testing time before we make the switch to 4.2
official.  Remember, I had to reapply (mostly re-edit) my 200k patch by
hand because the 4.1patch didn't apply cleanly.  So, 4.2 is basically a
"new" port.  Let's give it a while to settle.  It seems to work fine
*for me*, but outside confirmation is a good thing.
