Thanks, but please avoid posting such large patches as long as you
don't have a copyright assignment for Emacs on file.  That's because
just by reading the patch, people will remember some of the
implementation, and will then have hard time to come up with a
different one, should your copyright assignment paperwork not come
through.

If you'd like to sign the forms, I will send them to you.  Then we
could revisit the patch when the legal paperwork is done.

Thanks again for working on this.
