I did not follow things going on carefully for almost two months while
I'd a deal with graduate project, but now since it's finished (Yay!!!)
and I got some time I started to dig to old patches (made during last
three months) and it's one of them. :) I'd incorporated few missing
points from Mike's PR and have on hold Joachim's (I have plans and ideas
to make it even more optimized).
So, if people also started to work on this topic it shows its
actuality, IMHO. :-)
