Ok, initially I'll define it there so that all the fellow hackers can
help debug my patches ;-)

Yes, that's why I have planned some intermediate steps before finally
switching to the new format. As you have guessed by now I'm not a
friend of huge "do it all at once" patches. I prefer to do a number
of small steps. This first patch does not break the code and takes us
one step in the right direction. More patches will follow.

As nobody else commented, it seems that it depends on your approval,
before a revised version of the patch will be applied.
