I'm with you with the disappointment... I was helping a guy adding
support for this upstream and then magically disappeared... Tried to
send private email asking to test your followup patch but still no
response... Sorry for not answering your email, was hoping to have a
response and just give you a positive feedback but I think this won't
come...
