If I read between the lines it sounds to me like you don't want this as a port either, however if I'm incorrect in that assumption please let me know and I'll see what I can do about getting it done before the deadline. I agree that a better solution is desirable, I made that point myself. If I were capable of putting together something along the lines of what you want I would be happy to do so. However it seems to me that some solution is better than no solution, especially when you consider that there is currently nothing in the base that explains how to do the upgrade properly.
