Too late, I've checked it into devel_0_39 several hours ago.

Here's a bit of the chat with Tim on #dataflow:

<matju> tim: however i think that it shouldn't be you doing all the work
<matju> tim: "if i would have worked on a day job during the time i read 
diffs, merged files or rewrote things, i could easily afford a fancy 
powerbook and a few licenses of max/msp" -- Tim Blechmann

<matju> tim: i propose organising a special dev meeting everytime there is
a merge to do. then we can discuss what to merge and what not to merge and
how it should be done, and by looking at the merge process we'll have a
better overview of the directions both pd's are taking, *and* we will be
able to share the work of merging so that you don't have to do all of it
yourself

<tim> matju: a merging dev meeting would definitely be of some help ...
the best would be to have maintainers for the different parts of pd ... d_
m_ g_ x_ s_ ...  but there are too little people, who are familiar with
the pd source code and who would be willing to work on devel

<matju> tim: i could volunteer for m_* and/or x_*; i'm certainly going to
leave d_* to you; and g_* is out of my scope now; ... i could do s_* 
except the #ifdef-ridden crossplatform parts.

<matju> tim: whenever you think it's best to do a merge, just organise a
meeting here, or ask me to organise one

<matju> tim: actually i'll finish handling the warnings and will deal with 
the consequences when they come
