  BTW: please only enable it again after you at least did some
       successfull full test runs on bloody&mary,
       in particular T-007.sh

currently pending: some modified ioctls for better heartbeat integration
its a minor code change, but it will break API again.
and we should do global cleanup over {user,drbd}/*.[ch] ...

so ok, lets do a test run on blodymary,
release 0.7.4, go sailing, give me some five days of hacking, and
release 0.7.5 then.

if that is ok, then I'd say we fork the 0.7 branch, and continue with
0.8 cleanup and features in the trunk.

	oki?
