Dear PAM maintainers:

I, too, would like the patch to be accepted into mainline PAM.  I forwarded the
patch to
http://sf.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2275405&group_id=6663&atid=306663
-- could you folks please review it and comment on it at that URL?

P.S.  Thanks for maintaining PAM.  I rely on it every day, and it has never let
me down.
