At present I am not working with that interface because it is not in 2.2 
yet. (Coincidentally, I was about to begin implementing something 
similar to the interface in HEAD, when I checked it out, and saw that it 
was already being worked on).  But I have looked at that interface and 
have been "preparing" to do a port for head.  Given that I haven't been 
able to devote a lot of time to it until, well, this week, I'm still 
cleaning up some of the code and trying to stick to some coherent schema 
design, rather than the three or more conflicting schemas in the current 
code-base.

I've already implemented a new configure option (probably temporary, not 
sure) for switching between these, but since I'm not finished fully 
implementing even one of them, it doesn't really DO anything yet, other 
than provide me a nice place to stick the relevant non-working code . . .
