Sure why not, shouldn't be that much of an effort to do, but I don't know when we will have the time to do that.

Patch seems to have disappeared from the codebase (was not present in either 2.1.3 or 2.1.4, and I can't seem to get on anonsvn at the moment).

2.1.3 and 2.1.4 are only bug fix releases, they do not contain new stuff

Ah, fair enough.
