It's feature and thus must NOT be committed to the RELEASE
tree. But if you send me the patches, I could add it to the
v6.4.1 feature patch which I'll put into the patches
directory on the ftp server after v6.4.1 is out.

Did it add new node types? If not, the rewrite system might
already be happy with it. Anyway - I'll take a look at it and
check/extend/fix for the rewrite corner.
