The problem here is that the patches have been sitting around for plenty of
time to have gotten into one of the earlier test releases, but it didn't
happen. Who do we have to bug after F8 development starts to get those
patches in? It seems like the main people who were playing with this didn't
have direct access to commit stuff and for whatever reason the right people
weren't asked.

I doubt I will be playing with F8 test1, but I did want this feature in F7
and I need to upgrade a few machines from FC5, so I will probably try to
make this work on one of my boxes under F7 despite the extra pain.
