Cool!  This is a background task for me, but I do, indeed plan to get it
done.  I'll give this stuff a try as soon as I can.  I'm planning to
upgrade the entire system today (two years of updates in one go!), so I
want to wait until that's done, to see if any of the platform
strangeness "goes away" with the update.

Thanks,
