So since not many of these got fixed this week :/ I'm just adding new
ones in place of the ones that did, and commenting on the last batch.

Jody is on this one, and slowly fixing it.

Damon and Alex working on it, but no traction yet.

Wipro has taken this on and submitted patches for a lot of programs.
Still a long way to go, though.

This time I did the link correctly so that it doesn't show post-2.0
