OK. Thanks. I will take this to -ports, and get their opinions. Once we have a working solution, should this go to -hackers to see if someone will add it to -current, or should it just be submitted as a PR as you suggest? >> I certainly think it's a good idea, but i'll need the support of at >> least somebody else, otherwise it's just a one-man crusade.

I think it may be a good idea for you to look at the tools for me. I would have a go but I can't even find the source for them on my system. And if it's in C it's likely to beyond my programming skills. :-) Please understand that it's the first time I've particpated significantly in something like this. I don't need my hand held, I just want to make sure that I'm doing this properly. Thanks all.
