Oh, that's not my call =). It's up to Ross Johnson to decide. I simply 
had lots of free time today and decided to share my ideas. You can 
disregard anything I said... (although I think they might help).

The patch is not necessary because 4-byte alignment is enough for x86 
and Win32, but it certainly might help some people to avoid a headache 
like you mentioned.
