These patches are updated as discussed to remove the incomplete
feature. Unfortunately I have a wedding to go to this weekend and
won't get them tested until next week. Will post when I've done so.

Just to cover the legal bases: I don't consider these changes to be
significant enough to require the involvement of the JPL clearance
process. JPL has already ruled that they do not fall afoul of any
ITAR restrictions.
I am not imposing any license restrictions myself either, but some
credit in the release notes, or wherever, would be appreciated.
