Not that it matters much to me, but I think Fred should be the one getting
credits for the patch since he is the one that did all the work. I just
reviewed the technical part of it. By the way, there was some encoding issue
with my name in the author-line. The question mark should be a simple o with 2
dots above it.

Thanks for correcting me!

No idea.
