"capabilities" is a polite way of putting it ;)

Anyway, modulo two design comments, I think this is about as nice as we're
going to get this. Thanks for persevering, and sorry that you have to deal
with such dreadful hardware.

Hopefully the next version will be the one, although I'd like Robin to take
a quick look as well if he gets a chance.
