I'd like to echo Allen's comment above.  Do not give up.  This code is
very close to being accepted (once the issues that Allen and I pointed
out are addressed).  If you can get us another version on/before
Wednesday, it should make the 4.5 release (assuming it is acceptable
and the wdinow is not closed prematurely).

Thanks for all of your hard work (and many thanks to Allen for his
reviews of the code as well).
