bug 371 is fixed now.

I have also fixed a number of wifi bugs reported by gustavo a while ago
(sorry that it took so long !).

I don't think I will have time to come up with a lot of better
regression tests within the next 4 days (which is the time left until
the end of your first estimated release date).

Since I did not see much public progress on these issues, maybe we
should revisit that proposed schedule :) It would be nice if we could
manage to get the build system rework into this release but, it looks
like no one has started working on this yet. Am I wrong ? If not, is
there someone who plans to work on this ? If so, do you have an
estimated deadline ?
