Patch looks good!

Just a couple of things for the next time ;)
You might be aware of them, but it doesn't hurt to remind them:
- When sending new version, use --in-reply-to to the last version of the 
patch sent, it's easier to have all patches on the same thread (if your 
email client supports it)
- Also when sending new versions it's useful to add what has changed 
from the previous to the new version.
   (add such info after the three dashes as shown above)

Cheers,
Sergio
