I would hope I could.  =)

OK, so as I said in the response to Tim's email, anyone who was actually
going to look at the patch can hold off until I email the list again when
I have ``dummy_threading`` done.

And if someone can delete the old files from the patch I would appreciate
it (almost all of them will have to be regenerated anyway).
