May I suggest trying to apply Arianna's series, and see whether that
helps? IIRC, there should even be the possibility of setting up non 1:1
mappings, directly from the config file (uless that got dropped in the
latest versions, which I could not follow closely).

In any case, it look like both less work, and a more tested path (given
the amount of attention and review the series is getting). It also would
be greeat to have some more testing of the series itself, not to mention
that, if it works, you'll be all set for when the series will go
upstream! :-P

I believe the last version of Arianna's series is this one:

Just 2 cents... :-)

Regards,
Dario
