Sorry about that. I have been having a bit of trouble managing the
dependencies and some assumptions I made with earlier branches
turned out to be invalid as new patches came in. I'll try to be
more careful in future.

I'm not carrying any cleanup branches at this time.
I will keep in in mind for future patches of this nature.
