Thanks, this is great.  Applied.  Thanks for the sanity check and cleaning
up after some of my mess.

Definitely.

I'm going to hold here on the patch sequence until I can upload what's
currently in Subversion so that we can start getting it into testing and
also have a better synchronization point for other people looking at the
packages.

Did you have a chance to install what's in Subversion on your netbook and
confirm that it works?
