One of the great things about having the source is that if there is something
in particular that you need you can add to it as needed. Currently, I
think that as functions are needed they get filled in (such as your case).
Now, who will do it, is another question, any volunteers? It might be
beneficial to find out who is working on what, so we don't duplicate effort.
If there aren't any takers for the above functions, I will investigate them.
