Cirilo,

Please hold off on putting any more effort into this until I can comment
on it.  I've look over the merge request and saw a bunch of things that
will need to be changed before I am willing accept it.  I will try to
build and test your merge request and get back to you by the end of the
weekend.

Cheers,

Wayne
