I still have to send the uswsusp upstream for review, but I think that
part doesn't have poblems at all. After that I'll try to push for a
release of uswsusp.

About the splashy part; The majority of the work was moving
functions/files around. So I think splashy 0.3 is as stable as splashy
0.19. The part that could potentially could cause the introduction of
bugs is the socket interface, but that is for a big part already in
0.1.9. I think I'll have to backport some changes related to sockets
from 0.3 to 0.1.9 (/me makes mental note)

If you ask me we can release the 0.3 branch as stable, but it is
probably better to get what we have in trunk out first.
