Paul Vriens was posting patches in which references to This->ref in 
TRACE calls were replaced by a variable containing the value of 
This->ref - I can't remember why this was necessary, but I don't think 
he's doing it just for the fun of it;
I also saw, at least some of the patches were in files not listed on the 
janiturial page; should that list be updated? how could we see wether a 
given dll directory needs cleaning up?
