<br>That said, if someone were to modify the patch to it could be imported to 2.7 (at least changing file names) or make changes to the relevant files by hand; run the tests, with whatever changes are needed so that they do run; and change the code as needed so all tests pass; sign the contributor agreement; and post a properly formatted test to the tracker and indicate a readiness to respond to comments; then it might get some attention.<font color="#888888"><br>
