Very nice.  Thanks!

The one thing I worry about is that you are proposing to wait a while
before submitting your changes upstream.  I would suggest pushing
whatever pieces work to contrib/ early on to get more feedback from
reviewers and testers.  (I am saying this selfishly, as a potential
tester.)

In particular, this seems like very little time to get the code into
shape for git.git.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Jonathan
