Hi Denys,

Sorry for the delayed reply, the email didn't get filtered to my
normal mail folders.

No updates, but I am still interested in adding this support. After
the morty release I intend to look into this deeper and post some
patches. But if you have ideas I would be interested in hearing them
:).

Regards,
Nathan
