Yes, I was told that it would be easier for someone else to prepare the
release if I commit now ;-)
We still need a name for the context, unless you are content with the
initial name as in CVS.

William Brack told me once that we should simply blame Daniel for such
things :-) No, really, the functions have enough arguments to survive

Just add the callbacks you need.

We added the tests under "test/namespaces/reconcile", so whenever you
come across a weird namespace constellation...
