I just stumpled upon this. Oh my, this stuff is straight from callback
hell. Lars, how's your 'url' rewrite going...?
I stared at this for hours, but was unable to come up with anything
better than what Jerry has suggested. So if nobody objects, I'd like to
commit this.
Jerry, do you have papers with the FSF signed? I'm not sure if the
resulting patch will fit in the 'trivial patch' category.
