You can access Omar's latest code using subversion:

svn co http://postgresql.tinysofa.com/svn/trunk

Because of the images additions/changes  which don't lend themselves to diff -c
format, I recommend allowing Omar to check in the changes directly to CVS
on gborg. I don't see any problems with that approach, because it can
always be rolled back. Omar tells me that he is already registered, with
username 'omar'.

I'd assist but I will be in Japan with limited internet access.

Thoughts?
