Hi Francesco,

most of these are fairly old. I've tried the first link, but the patch
didn't apply cleanly, and I failed to manually insert the failed
hunks. Probably too much has changed since.
Maybe some of them are not relevant any more?
In any case, since you understand the purpose of these changes better
than me, it would help me a lot if you refreshed these patches against
current tip and reposted them (using hg bundle or just zipped).

thanks
