This is too late.  I just got approval to commit my version mailed
here on 10 Aug, and will commit it today.  That version also removes
the globals, but doesn't change the algorithm so much.  Your version
seems to be simpler but has too many style bugs for me.  If you want
to do more work on this, please adjust your patch to apply to the
version that I will commit and clean it up.
