Hi Dave,

Thanks for testing and checking. Fixing up event.d should not be a problem. I did most of the conversion in the hope that the unittests would catch any mistakes. If you do find any other, do let me know, or send a PR against my repo. I tried to do the conversion carefully, but  because of the amount of files it is quite a bit of a task. Especially having to go through everything twice (bootstrap and master).

I don't mind waiting a little before sending in the PR while we finish this up. Maybe we should add some unittests to catch these types of porting issues (if possible). How did you find this one ?

Regards,

Diederik
