Yes. I hate them for making that change, but apparently it's allowed

Philipp, you've nailed it down -- the ctype change is the reason why I
didn't want to make that change.
If the sage-ctype thing is not too ugly, using it would be acceptable.
If/when you're making the change, don't forget to make the patch
against the latest CVS sources. Thanks for your effort.
