Goodness.  You're the second person to have done part of this
this week.  I'd better get this merged, or I'll have a hoard
of people sending me patches!  I'll try to have a look at
your patches soon.  In the meantime, you might want to put
them on a server and post the URL to your patches; that
might help with the posting problems you mentioned in your
next note.

Thanks,
Dan
