  Something along these lines?  (Patch is untested, in fact I haven't even
compiled it yet because my build dir is broken.  I developed this on our
in-house 3.80 variant and the attached is a crude up-port to HEAD.  I'm not
sure if the xstrdup is necessary, for example.  This is just a sketch, not a
patch submission!)


    cheers,
