That's a considerable improvement over the status quo.  I've had a quick
look over the revised diff and that seems fine.  I suggest installing
the hlc.agc grade and running the test suite** (if you haven't already
done so).  After that feel free to commit this one.

(In future could you please not send diffs as attachements.)
