I've been busy with too many new things to get them all done.

I had thought I would have it merged already, but got distracted with
my new (used) dual xeon workstation. trying to get it running to take
over from my old core2 system.  Plus a few other things...

I have the new compression code ready for catalyst now too in the
pending branch for some final testing before merge.

I'll see if I can track down that regression, and submit it for final
review before merge.

Then we can patch it and progress with the rewrite at the same time.
