Oops.  Sorry I missed that originally.

No problem. Your mods look okay to me.  Now, about the new 
Gnome-inspired release of 1.4p6...it's a shame that it's too late for a 
similar dirlist patch for that one. :-) 'Sokay, we cygwin folks can keep 
our forked version going [dirlist is the only difference between our 
1.4p5 and the official 1.4p5].

Unfortunately, I can't pursue that any further for a month or so...
