What I would like to see, is if this works with AbiCollab. I know
previous solutions did not work with it, as they were modifying the PT
directly, which is _bad_ (if I recall correctly).

If it does not work with AbiCollab, then the solution is probably
fundamentally flawed. If it does work, then I don't see why we
_wouldn't_ commit this to trunk.

Martin Sevior can best determine how this interacts with AbiCollab I
guess. He's in Japan right now, so he might be slow to respond.
