Hi Matt,

It sounds like you're close.  Why not try to produce a patch?  If it's
slightly wrong somehow someone will point it out.  You should check
you can bootstrap and that the option works for both C and C++ as
expected.

If you're thinking of working on some of those projects, it would be
a good idea to get a copyright assignment on file - they often take
a good month to process.

Neil.
