The first patch looks good.  I was about to apply it, but realized that
it's missing a ChangeLog entry.  Care to post one?

About the second patch: I usually prefer to use the short option ("-r").
There were a few other places that didn't use it.  I've made the
appropriate modifications and committed the change.

Thanks for the patches,
	Igor
