I haven't looked at any details yet, but from the description I love the changes :)

I was actually planning on doing something very similar myself soon-ish, so you've
saved me a bunch of work :)

I'll review this and add these to my tree. Jean-Francois, is it ok for these changes
to go upstream through my tree? The reason I'm asking is that I plan to convert
more subdrivers to the control framework for 3.5 and its easiest to have this all
in one tree then.

If you've remarks to the core changes I will make sure these get addressed in my
tree of course.

Hans (the other Hans :)
