Thanks so much for working on this, Joe!  I'd like to try it out, 
but I've never dealt with other branches of the source code.  Can 
I have this branch exist alongside the master branch, and compile 
it separately, creating a different binary that includes your new 
stuff?  I could also set up a new virtual machine and just get 
your code without the master.
