If it's such a deficiency where are you're patches to fix the missing
bits? I fail to see them attached to this mail. Maybe my mailer dropped
them on the floor. Please resend them! thanks!

Many of us are waiting on nectars code. He is very busy working on other
things. And last time I checked he hoped to be picking it back up in June.
He is doing the best he can. You can help by finishing his work and
submitting the changes back so we get complete support sooner. I await
you're contribution.
