Me too, ignore my patches that use the weird reiserfs-based implementation, among that they wouldn't compile yet :) And yes, we can't break ABI/API compatibility by adding ugly hacks, so, I will do as David commented, will try to start some new work on it this weekend, but I'm still busy with exams and other stuff.
