I haven't gotten all of the changes done yet, so this effort is most
likely going to carry over into next month. I'll try and keep up with
changes in CVS and submit everything to you folks when it's to a point
where it's mature and stable enough to be inserted into the LTP base.
I ran into a few issues / concerns with some C source files though so
I'll submit separate patches for those soon.
Thanks,
-Garrett
