As I said, I continue working on 'pkg.m'. At the moment it has a lot
diagnostic 'fprintf' statement, so making a patch would be unpractical.

If you are interested, you can _manually_ include the code I've posted.

I am not interested in interrupting my work flow at the moment -
unfortunately I have a lot of other things to debug in 'pkg.m'.

If/when I'm done, I'll post the _whole_ 'pkg.m' - it easier for humans
to comprehend files opposed to file deltas, and a patch.

After completion producing a patch makes sense.

  Sergei.
