Hi Gary,

I believe this is being tracked with bug #1019:

http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1019

I do not have an ETA on this except for "before 1.1". Your workaround 
could be used in the meantime.

I haven't given any thought to creating an environment variable "API" to 
the script, so I'm not comfortable taking the patch currently.

As a temporary workaround, you could use the patch locally.

Scott
