(+1 to the "Thanks to Michael" there!)

...but in that message he refers to some problems it still has.  There is 
followup discussion in the thread in which he mentions further improvements, 
but no revised patch as far as I can see.

So currently I'm not sure what patch we would review.  Michael, if you have a 
newest & working version, please post.  (Or if you already have posted it, then 
please let me know.  The way I searched was by looking at every subsequent post 
from you, in that thread, since the above message.)

Best regards,
