I think the last version was posted in November. I don't think it made it to the mailing list, but I've attached a copy of the patch. A concrete way to proceed here is to: (1) Fork the project on github and add your patch to your fork. (2) Make sure it is up to date with the current branch. (3) Make sure it compiles and all the tests pass. (4) Post a link to the github repo here and we can look at it.
