[elephant-devel] Updated version of last Postmodern patch bundle

[Ian Eslick]

We should definitely find out what, if anything, is keeping the  
current head from being green.  However, the changes in the unstable  
branch are so extensive, that our time prepping for the release are  
better spent on identifying presents in that one (FYI - I only have  
one or two failing tests on my end that I'll track down when I get a  
chance).

I'll do a quick run of the current head and let you know what I find.

Cheers,
Ian
