I was about to push this patch, but I noticed that you did it relative
to an old version instead of incrementally relative to the changes
that already exist in Savannah.

I also noticed that your commit message isn't following our
convention. We haven't really agreed on the proper way to do this, I
guess, and we're still figuring out the rules to do this, but roughly,
you should describe in broad terms the changes on each file and
function, according to this example:

    http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/3e4350f09a55

It's really supposed to be GNU style, described here:

    http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Style-of-Change-Logs.html

except we have to sort of adapt them to hg and C++.

I'm also hesitant to push this patch because jwe seems to be vetoing
it... I think it's a good way to do things, but I don't want to push a
patch that jwe doesn't like.
