This makes sense, and I will start looking at it.

But, as I said up front, nobody should count on my being able to accomplish
this,
and anyone who wants to do it will not offend me by going ahead and doing it

We haven't had too many volunteers lately in this area, so this shouldn't be 
a problem.

Just make sure to send your patches early, without waiting for your 
enhancements to be "finished". This will help coordinating your work with 
that of other developers.
