Nevermind... Now I read Carl's patch through the WWW archive of the 
mailing list (I didn't receive some of the posted messages through 
e-mail - I guess it's time to use a better mail account). I see that his 
method is quite similar to the one I've been using for some time now. 
Sorry for the confusion.

Best regards,
