[oe] WIP commits

[Rolf Leggewie]

Hi,

for those of you following the commit mailing list, you will likely have 
noticed that I pushed about 15 commits a little while ago that were 
obviously still work-in-progress and not meant to leave my local repo. 
I think I successfully reset the public archive a few minutes later, so 
everything should be OK.  My apologies for the noise.  Let me know if 
there are any remaining problems because of this.

Regards

Rolf
