I note that the jc/wt-status-state-cleanup branch is a patch "for illustration 
purposes only" [1].

I was about to update that patch to start dealing with the free() function 
calls, but noted you added the patch.  Do you want me to take that patch and 
continue on?  Or does someone else have something in progress?

I do not plan to.  In general, anything that is only in 'pu' is a
fair game---when a better alternative appears, or a discussion leads
to a conclusion that a change is unneeded, they are replaced and/or
discarded.  Just think of them as being kept slightly better record
of existence than merely being in the list archive, nothing more.

Ok ... from the wording I wasn't sure if there wasn't another developer 
working this.  I will pick up that patch and continue.
