Hmm, I tried to apply this to 2.0.17, and that didn't really work out.
Before I spend too much time trying to hand port the changes, do you
know off hand if they simply won't apply to 2.0.17 due to other changes
made since then? It looks like 2.1 might be out soon, I guess maybe I
should just wait for that.

Thanks...
