I'm going to be on vacation until the 12th, so I won't have a chance to do anything until then (perhaps Ian will have a chance to poke at them before then). I'm expecting Becky's patches to work as-is, or if not, be easily fixed with a couple of small bugfix patches. So I say go ahead if they work for everyone else.
