Seems to me that changing the void* is less trouble and risk
than adding a new ctx as you suggested in the previous mail.

But, either way it would be quite a bit of code churn,
and dealing with void* (and converting them to something
more specific) is prone to errors, so it would need to
be considered beta code until folks get to test it out
a bit.  We've been running with my patches for quite
a while and no obvious problems...but likely we are not
hitting all the code paths....

Thanks,
Ben
