Yes, thanks, I went on the fact that this code has been shown to work,
and is self-contained (new driver).  Yes, it will need some work, and
your build log certainly showed that (I already let Sarah know about the

I had missed the global names that were not unique, and thank you for
that, I'll go resolve it.
