    We should avoid applying patches on the import if we possibly can, it's
    Not Right.

    I'd suggest submitting a patch via Sourceforge. I did this at Bill Fenner's

    very good about closing and applying them, even if it takes him a week or
    two to get around to it as he is quite busy.
