The patches here have some issues in not compiling and formatting
(trailing whitespace) and as such, cannot be applied as-is. I'd expect a
new version to be posted to address those issues.

That said, if there is any feedback on the general direction used here,
that would obviously be welcome even before the updated patches are
posted.
