There isn't nothing really special to do, but my plan was because I
didn't know how the mechanism worked, ;)

It'd be great if all the changes that I'm making to Decimal are
automatically, at some point, merged into Py3k (I guess that using the
conversion tool).

But at some point, both codes may start to diverge, because
Py3k-specific optimizations could be done there... but this could be
done in an year or two, ;).

So, how is this handled? Until which moment can I expect that the
changes in the trunk are merged to Py3k?

Thank you very much!
