OK, thanks for the info.  Alexandre, do you see a problem with making the
headers non-underlined and non-italic?  The color differences set them
apart well enough for me.

Also, while I haven't had time to evaluate a proper overhaul of the patch
pages I have at least modified the backend so as to allow pagination. 
Patches are now available by default in 100-patch lists, starting with the
newest.  Everything else currently functions the same as before.

E. Liddell, now that the patches page is a little easier to work with, can
you send me an example of what the aforementioned css-driven table should
look like?  I can implement the changes quickly on this end.

Thanks!

Tim
