repeating yourself again and posting a link to a reason from the lead 
developer not wanting that feature is really helping you, well done, we 
are all proud!
also, bug #891 has a special place in all out hearts, thank you for that.

got fixed in cvs after a release was made, thus making bug reports 
against previous releases possibly defunct, especially in that circumstance.
