Thanks for the ideas.  However, could you please regenerate this as a
unified diff against a more current distribution (the current stable
release is 5.93, and the CVS development is progressing towards an
eventual 6.0 release), rather than as a straight file?  Also, your changes
may be large enough that it would require copyright assignment, if it is
indeed worth applying the patch.  Without anything to compare against, it
is not obvious what you are trying to add.
