Please? I already explained why mine sucks and shouldn't be merged. It was a proof of concept; hoping for the stone soup effect. I haven't seen a C version or indeed anything which actually does the right thing, although I outlined how it would work and _threatened_ to do one. I had a half-arsed attempt at it on the way home from linux.conf.au but my brain tends to melt while I'm on airplanes so I didn't get very far. -- dwmw2
