It should be pointed out that despite not having his listed too many
times above that Borut fixed dozens of bugs. He accounts for over 1/6
of the 300 ChangeLog entries. Those of you familiar with SDCC know
that Borut has taken on an immensely important role of making sure all
details are taken care of.
In addition several users have supplied patches, suggestions, and
filed bug reports:
Alex Holden, Alain Portal, Xiaofan Chen, Steffen Joeris,
David Barnett, Eamon Skelton, Ralf Forsberg, Colm Flaherty
And I know I'm probably missing others
