yeah, I had a quick look at it while poking at the distro-sync 
question. It looked just a bit beyond the bounds of 'let's just hack 
it out in an afternoon for the hell of it', though, so I resisted 
trying it myself - there's other stuff I ought to assign higher 
priority to.

I guess it's up to FESCo and the Change owners how they want to handle 
this.
