Well, now you'll be able to. The sources are there now, although there are
reports of trouble bootstraping with them as-is. Hopefully "wave fronts" won't
be much of an issue any more either, as they will just be rogue personal copies,
as far as the baseline is concerned, until they are checked in.

Well, if its a 3.1 only issue, then the current release date estimate would be
April 15, 2002. But you could always make yourself a beta build from the CVS
sources before then, if you want.
