I don't know what the best approach would be.  It's up to you to work out 
a clean design (that is, a design that makes logical sense as a way to 
implement the relevant features - starting from the features, not the 
existing code, as a justification for the design) and justify in your 
patch posting why you think it's the right way to refactor this code so it 
can be shared.
