Actually, what I meant is that if I do include it (which I think I am
going to for 2.1.0) then it won't be as a patch in the distribution,
but actually in the code officially.

I'm going to check out Rasterman's patches, just for grins, but I
don't think I'll include that just yet. But perhaps if his additions
are simple, maybe I will add them as a compile time option as well.
Who knows?
