Woo woo!  Thanks!  I hope you got at least Orca V0.9.0 in there.  V1.0
will be pretty close to it, modulo any major bug fixes made found since
V0.9.0.

Great!  It will be great to get builds of these widely available for
people to test.  I've been the one recently throwing a wet blanket on
getting them in for GNOME 2.16 because of the closeness to the GNOME
2.16 deadline.  It doesn't mean I don't support the work, though.  I
think it's a mandatory piece of functionality and want to see it get
more thoroughly tested before it is committed.  Thank you, Ubuntu, for
taking this on!
