AFAIK, only my company has shown any interest in such features under Linux. I don't think the effort to benefit ratio makes this a patch worth considering any longer; I'm disinclined to ask you to waste your valuable time. We can revisit if/when others start asking for such capabilities. And then, we'll have a wider group to consider the issues to be resolved. In the mean time, folks can always play with our code; we post our OSS stuff at http://oss.titaniummirror.com.
