I'm not sure what you mean by "my patches", given that I've never 
submitted any for this issue, though I'd suggested what such patches might 
do.

BTW, in general, when importing and modifying code, it's best to do those 
in separate commits, so that one can easily see the modifications without 
wading through a ginormous diff against /dev/null.
