Hey, Jani.  Are these patches needed if we have Mark's patch?  I would
prefer to see Mark's solution.  Since alternative parts are supposed to
be just that, alternative, it seems to me that a solution that would
cycle through display of these parts is really what we want.  Is there a
strong need to show multiple alternative parts at the exact same time?
