I don't think I can fit that also :-)

already got that.

That's precisely the plan, but I like the LM317 style short-circuit and thermal 
protection, so I will probably
do it by setting the LM317 voltage with a voltage divider, and then drive the 
midpoint with an op-amp
relative to the LM399

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
