Hi Will,

Did this go anywhere/are you planning to post a new version? There are a couple
of other cleanups I'd like to do in this area, and also I'd like to add tlbip
support. But I don't want to spend time on it if the baseline is going to
drastically change.

If you're not planning a v2, perhaps I could have a go then extend for the
extras I want to do?

Thanks,
Ryan
