Ian, I'd like to commit this.  I think it's pretty close to your
original code so you should be the author, which is why I'm asking for
your feedback (I can split the commits if you prefer).  I see one commit
with your name in ChangeLog.14:

2009-02-14  Ian Eure  <ian@digg.com>  (tiny change)

This is not a tiny change, though, even if we split the commits.  Do you
have Emacs assignment papers on file?

Thanks
Ted
