Good to know that (I joined the liste only this year).

It's nice to see that we all have almost the same idea of how to do the 
patch. As I see, there just differ in some details and in how to handle 
the network script.

Is there any guideline about the network script ? Or should we add an 
option to let the choice to the user if the network script is called or 
not ?
