Yeah, I realized that it probably wouldn't make it to 8.0 but I was
wondering if anybody has an unofficial patch that can be used in the
meantime.

The reason I ask is before it was committed it was a patch for
8.0-BETA3 floating around on the forums. It seems that the patch has
been removed since it was committed but I'd hoped someone out there
still had it so I could use it with 8.0-RC2.
