Gee...a response from a two-year-old thread...it's taking me a while to
page all of that back in :)

I'd love to see this work get in, I still feel bad about my part in
stalling it before.

Piecemeal could certainly work, or we could just try the whole thing and
see what happens.  We got Thorsten's reporting-issues tome in without much
trouble, after all, and that's bikeshed territory if anything is.  But
whatever works is fine; send stuff and I'll gladly look at it.

Thanks,
