OK, I can see how that would save someone a lot of time.


Your patch did basically everything wrong: meaningless title,
wordwrapped, changelog doesn't explain the reason for making the patch,
missing Signed-off-by:, didn't cc: the maintainer, gmail-inserted
non-ascii chanracters, tabs replaced by spaces (gmail again).

I typed it in again ;)
