Thanks for the patches.  However I have to ask you to try to regenerate them.  
I dont' know what version of patch you're using, or what happened, but 
linebreaks got inserted, spaces were lost, etc.  The biggest hunk doesn't 
apply at all.

Also please note that this code really isn't being actively maintained since 
we're rewriting (and already have something cleaner, more powerful, and more 
stable).  I'll definitely accept patches for this and merge them in, but I 
don't intend to be doing much of any work on it personally.
