Sounds great to me!

It's one of those packages that probably only a couple people a year
need, but when they need it, they really need it. The way you proposed
means that it is as current as the Linux version in hand without further
attention.

I was going to say that it would be a couple days until I was back home
and able to look into it and test as I'm on travel, but it looks like
you've already got things well in order. If you want to go ahead with
your patch, I think it's a much better approach.
