I have a patch. And, I went through the local changes and I think none of them are needed, so I've removed them one-by-one in the resulting series. However, it's too big to push through "buildbot try". So, it may be quite some time until I'm able to test it suitably. If someone wants to help with this, it's in my github repository. Tom
