I agree - can have a look - the big question is: how would I document the 
individual changes by Gellert Weisz and myself correctly?
* just a single patch with an attribution tag (which?) or just a commit message?
* Patchset with 2 patches: the original by Gellert Weisz (this)
  plus the modification to consolidate the code above?

Thanks,
