If the patch was submitted back in 2005 and nothing's happened since
then I'd say the author probably lost interest, which means that it
won't be added until someone else gets interested in it. So I'd
suggest either rolling up your sleeves or dangling a carrot (money)
in front of some of the people that do consulting and back-end hacking.
