There's a question, though: what if review manager says "accepted provided 
this feature is added before adding to CVS". This what happened with 
program_options and Unicode support, and actually, the Unicode support took 
most of the post-review time.

OTOH, I'm not sure there's a procedure which makes sure that all/some review 
comments are addressed, so maybe immediate checking is no worse than the 
current practice.
