I'm sure we can split it up if you don't have time.  Many thanks for
doing this work!

I don't know if I'll have time this week, but I'm sure I'll do it
as soon as possible (unless anyone else can take the time to turn
it into a set of git commits or patch series for me to merge).

BTW, are you happy with all your work here being licensed under the
same terms as the rest of the project (GPL3+)?


Thanks,
Roger
