Oh, ok.  I was looking at going through all the existing drivers and
changing the direct references to timeout and pretimeout to use accessor
functions.  That what what I thought you were hinting at, and I thought
that was a good plan.  My original idea was to provide the ability,
change everything over, then remove the messy cruft from the core
driver.

If you want to send something, I can try it out.
