Sure, my patch has the only difference from the previous Theodor's code
for compatibility with v.13, though it is not small, and I appreciate the
changes in paths processing. The only thing that caused my notice, is that
some useful changes which I've mentioned before, are discarded now. But as
long as they are planned to be put in later it is completely fine. I agree
to discuss the thing in any thread, though I don't quite understand the
reason for a switch.

Still I don't see a problem.
