Dear All,
I can't resist dripping a little oil on the fire. I'll be accepting flames
for that in the next ten minutes.

Ok, how about a wrapper around SRM, delegating all the do-thing-quickly
tasks to the real and untarnisched SRM, but adding hooks for the more
mundane task of getting the first few blocks off a controller that SRM
pretends isn't there.
It would leave SRM untouched, so you'd have no license issues. All you do is
reroute a few interrupt vectors (he added, blissfully unaware of SRM's real
implementation).
