That's true, I originally did it there. But I moved to a -current box for development, and the code has changed a fair bit since, and diverged fairly badly. It shouldn't be too hard (though tedious) to backport (ediff ho!), but I haven't done it in a while. I should, but there's a significant problem with the code's design that insists I do a fair bit of rework, and that comes first. --jh -- Mr. Belliveau said, "the difference was the wise, John Hood, cgull intelligent look on the face of the cow."
