No specific plan/schedule ... I've just done (and will continue to do)  
little bits myself when I've happened to be looking at the code  
concerned.

I would be very happy to apply any patches you (or anyone else)  
produce to implement these changes, as such patches should be trivial  
(mostly just changing a few type declarations) and require minimal  
reviewing.
