I'd really prefer not to maintain it -- I'm using it on my zaurus,
because git is just too slow there -- but I don't really have time
just now.

(Plus, I'm not good enough with git, I'm afraid).

But, if you think the patches are good enough, I can just prepare
nice, easy to apply series? (But I'd really like someone to check that
the basic idea is right...)
