Hi!

Florent's patch partition_leg_length_speedup-fh.patch no longer applies 
over trac_13605-partition_options-ts.patch.  The relevant change is just to 
the format of a raise ValueError, so it would be easy enough either not to 
make the change in 13605, or to rebase Florent's patch.  

cheers,

Hugh
