Of course I will do the work. That's what I meant all along!
I just want your help in designing/reviewing the proposed change before 
doing all the work, so that I can give our client a good estimate on how 
much work it would all entail (they ARE paying for this, after all...)

I'll make a small case study as you suggested and send some diff files 
your way (should I just post the diff files as attachment to this list? 
or what?)
