Actually, I find that sysctl works fine with virtual channels. Is there 
any advantage one way or another? Seems to me like virtual channels is 
a bit more ... elegant, but I'm not sure if it would matter. Thanks for 
the patch either way, as it might come in handy, and it's always good 
to learn about more than one way to solve a problem.
