Thanks a lot for pointing me to Ian's patches. Indeed, some of the functionality overlaps; this only means that these features are on everyone wishlist. I will be happy to help Ian and Franz get these patches upstream.

I am not familiar with the review process at NM. If someone could help me to get started, I will be much obliged.

Yours,

Bartoz
