If the patch is sound (and I mean very sound) it could still make  
1.3.5. Franz/Jean/Andreas/Pierre can review.

re 7609.. very minor code reorganisation might be accepted, however  
major rewrites and any functionality change risks (aside for fixing  
showstopper bugs) will not be accepted at this point.


thanks
