Hi. I haven't reviewed the patch completely yet, but one comment.
We generally have a convention for recording all significant authors
of a patch in the ChangeLog entry.
If Philippe doesn't want his name in the c/l entry that's cool,
but if there is a significant amount of his work here we should note
it in the c/l entry.
