I've committed this in r4377. Yinghai, I think Ron assumed you would
commit. If you can't reach svn, please contact Stefan.

Sorry about that. I hope we will have a patchwork system up in a
while, so that patches will not get lost like this, duplicate work
can be avoided, and basically human life time is not wasted because
of lacking technology.

Thank you, and apologies for us being so inefficient.
