Let me clarify--this patch has been given to me, and I promise
that it will be incorporated in the next semi-official release
of WinFrotz made by me.

I'm just not sure when that will be. I am somewhat over-obligated
right now, and WinFrotz is fairly far down list of my concerns.

I am also not the official WinFrotz maintainer. The WinFrotz author
seems to have fallen off the net, and I have released some fixes,
and collected several fixes from others, but I am just some guy,
and I have in general made it clear that I will not be making any
large changes or feature additions to WinFrotz. If someone is
desperate to see this stuff released sooner rather than later,
or is more ambitious about improving WinFrotz (e.g. Blorb stuff),
I will be more than happy to hand over everything I have.
