Hmm.. Nice.

Okay, I will have another look at patches and do this kind of investigation
before sending it next time :) Its been fun going through these frameworks.

How do you want to proceed now? I mean, you will take the other patches
(which don't play with function parameters) as is or want me to send a single
unified patchset with all the pending patches that I have?

Thanks for your support :)
