So far I've been trying to handle it all inside the function, but maybe sepperating stuff out might simplify it.. anyway, i'll keep working on this and will submit patches in a day or two... It really is a nice little problem to work on and I'll find a solution for it (well, I already have at least one, but it's ugly as hell, want to find a better one) - gimme a few days.
