Really, dude? Not that I'm mad you got something working, but you just caused me to waste an hour of my time today then. Usually one has the expectation of the original submitter reworking patches once feedback comes on the mailing list...thanks for that. :/ Since I never fully finished it or made it nice, my work is here in hacky not-for-primetime form, but I'm not going to work on it anymore... http://code.toofishes.net/cgit/dan/aur.git/log/?h=rpc -Dan
