Yes, I'll stick these in unless someone complains.

Please don't send patches like this in the future, however:

a) Don't use a filename as the Subject:.  Use a real English-language
   description.

b) Don't add stuff like hashes to the changelog - others just have to go
   and edit it all away.

c) Don't use an email client which converts tabs to spaces.
