Excellent.  Will try to submit tests for them.

That idea has taken root.  It'll take me a few days to put 
together
reviewable code.  But I've got a good start.

Paperwork arrived today.  Signed and submitted.  I expect it'll 
take a
bit longer before it's administratively complete.

More when I have some signature analysis code for your review. 
It's
complicated enough to deserve its own tests.

Cheers,
Hugh
