Thanks for the patch. I have tentatively added it to trunk (well, once i do a
test build, and thus check it doesn't break), and it should be in tomorrow's
or more probably the day after's snapshot builds. I will probably upload a
package to http://people.debian.org/~luther once the build finishes.

Friendly,
