failure rewriting Patchy

[Janek Warchoł]

Dear developers,

i hoped to rewrite Patchy to make it more robust, user-friendly and
solve problems that David experienced with his fix for 2240;
unfortunately it turned out that i'm not experienced enough to do
this.  After 50 hours of struggle i'm so frustrated that i cannot
continue.
I'm sorry :(
I attach the half-baked results of my work...  I'd love to continue
working on this, but i cannot demand anyone to write the python code
for me.

Janek

PS despite how this turned out, i'd like to thank Julien and Mike for
their help.
