	Yes, no-one else should send mail to that list, it is read-only to  
the effects of everyone but the post-commit hook. So even though  
Vincent makes some good points, in this case the overall result is  
still the same regardless of where the Reply-To's are set. But well,  
done with the dissertation exercise, Bill will cover for us at the  
post-commit hook as soon as he gets a chance.
