You sent it to the right place.
But sometimes it takes a long time for me to handle feature additions.

I looked at your patch.
One of the first steps was to apply it to my working sources.
That failed:
$ patch < /tmp/k
patching file dd.c
patch: **** malformed patch at line 163: 234M)\n\+ si likewise,
but uses powers of 1000 instead of
because your mail client word-wrapped the message,
making the diff nearly useless.
Please resend the patch without mangling long lines.
