Very good, how am I meant to deal with this though? You never published
a pull url in your original pull request and I can't figure out how to
get a patch file out the github web UI. I guess I can fetch the branch
somewhere, then extract it, but if everyone does this its going to be
rather annoying for me :(.

I really wish people would just post the v2 on the list.

Incidentally, the wrong version of this has gotten merged, I'll likely
revert it then apply this.

Cheers,

Richard
