Let me know how you go .. when it makes it to CVS I'll do a build and run a
test machine at work.
The current machine I am testing at work has been running very well since I
put it in 12 hours ago (though the traffic and proxy graphs aren't working.
It's proably just my build)

I am in 2 minds over this ... my testing so far shows that the HTB code and
shaping script seems to work well and produces a fairly stable system. From
this point of view, it should be fairly easy to add in to v1.3.
But, developing the right webpage interface and debugging it will add time
and possibly another beta version.
BUT - it's such a cool feature!

Adding it as a patch seems to be the favourable course of action - and it
would turn out to be a fairly compact patch given that Mark is adding
(testing) the required kernel functionality and tc tool.
