I do that now.  Thanks for the hint.

In order not to get confused with all those new versions of my patch,
I'll upload the current version to my homepage [1] in addition to
posting it here.  So if someone finally decides to install it, be sure
to use the version from my homepage.

(Of course you could add me as project member, too.)
