[snip continuing refinement of the solution]

Peter, when you've solved this thing could you please either document
it clearly, or explain it in an email so I can document it the way I
documented the bridge solution? There need to be clear docs on how to
do this, so nobody else ever again has to go through what you've been
going through.

I congratulate you on your stick-to-it-ness, and those who have helped
you on their expertise. This is a great thread.

Thanks,
