That would be a good thing since I don't think any work has been done
there after February. ;)

There are only very minimal patches applied to the actual drupal.org
code base:

1) The already mentioned preg_replace replacements. There are issues
for these and I hope these patches will no longer be neccessary in the
future. The patch which affects unicode.inc was already
committed to D7.

2) I've commented out some mbstring checks since hiphop didn't
implement them. I should be able to revert these now.

3) I've removed the @ character from the mysql_connect string. Not
sure why.

4) I've commented out parts of the base_path logic in conf_init. Need
to test if this is still needed.

I believe that David's changes were meant to be far more extensive.

I am attempting to use Drupal out of the box and fix either Drupal or
hiphop where this fails.

Cheers,
        Gerhard
