Hi,
I could not agree more. Hence my original request and the subsequent
RFE... I'd much rather pull for an official interface than hack around

My only concern now is the fact the RFE was quickly moved to bugster as
a P4 RFE... and I'm wondering what kind of miracle it will take to get
activity on a P4...
