I think I'll upload "Jumbo RC" patches, one that fairly close equals
jumbo-8 (close enough that the dynamic format is broken, because of
changed base), a couple new ones (eg. a separate patch that fixes
dynamic_fmt for the new MD5_std.c) and one that closely resembles the 30
incremental patches originally for jumbo-8.
In the end you can call the sum of them "Jumbo-1" or not, they are just
split this way for reviewing purposes.

If you have icc you can just re-generate them using "make intrinsics". I
would prefer that.
