Sorry meant to cancel after I looked closer.

However, because it looks like it involves a whack of undocumented 
variable settings and rather a mess, to be frank, so I doubt I'll get to 
it anytime soon if ever because I think it would take way more effort 
than I think it's worth (it certainly looks to me like a lot more effort 
than the old way, in part because of lack of documentation, and in part 
because there's more to write for new oems).

Regards,

Daniel
