Definately true on both counts (which is why I have not submitted this
formally as a patch or optional task). A side note: They options are ment to
be mutually exclusive... I only use spawn, or input; never both. Ideally
they would be two separate tasks. If you'd like to clean it up and submit
it, be my guest.
