Ya, I was fearing something like that ...  :P

Ya, shouldn't be a problem...
[ Conceptually, at least.  They're in C++ though, so the result
probably won't be compilable by a C compiler, but I'll see what
I can come up with... ]

I've actually got 2 drivers - I'll start with the simple/dumb

Ya, I saw that after posting...  (Gotta learn to catch up on the
postings *before* replying!)
Autumn seems so far away, given how close I've gotten, so I might
try to discuss some short-term hack/patch jobs until then.  However,
that can be a different discussion, once all the issues are
discussed
