Hi Erik, Thank you for a fine patch. That looks very good. The only suggestion I can make so far is to omit the short-named "-q" option. The "--q" abbreviation of --quiet is only one byte longer. However, we'll need to deal with copyright paperwork before I can apply it. Please follow the instructions in the file, HACKING, in the "Copyright assignment" section. Jim P.S., please adjust your mail client.
