I've got Stantum, Cando and 3m that can be merged right now. I mean
that they have been tested and do not have regressions (crossing
fingers).
This let Quanta and Mosart. I'm sure they worked some weeks ago, but
I'm not sure (tested the last few days) ATM.

If you want, I can send the three that goes well, and for the other,
we'll see for 2.6.40.
I have the auto-detection of contact counts that could go for 2.6.39 as well.

Cheers,
Benjamin
