Oh, yes, the number of lines has fluctuated a bit, but it's been
a nightmare ever since I first saw it.  I'm impressed you found the
stamina to dig into it.

> Stefan, any comments?  I'm thinking of installing this on master.

I'll take a look at it later this week-end (it will take some time for
me to re-understand the code ;-)
