Actually, to my searches is is currently only available in
the very recent Ubnuntus. Debian lists it in "testing",
hence it will be in Lenny, the next stable. 521 bugs to go
for "Lenny GA", therefore it is not entirely out of scope
but from my limited searches it is not really "wide spread"
yet.

Hm, that could be a problem of course, however if the
wrapper gets the maximum number of parameters or those
unavailable are set to defaults maybe it would work. Don't
know, I'm not that much in that stuff.
