I read the pages and agree this is the easiest way to do it.  Since we
don't have "C" libraries here or the time to spend on writing programs
*AND* the more you program, the more bugs (read:security holes) can
appear.  I prefer the KISS method.
 
I guess we just have to wait for 5.5 to be a push.  BTW is it even a
pull release?
