I'm concerned; that doesn't sound like a good process to develop
a patch. Normally backporting a patch is a matter of finding
N applicable revisions and merging them... but it sounds that here
you're re-developing the feature from scratch.

If it won't compile on windows, for example, I'd be concerned that you
introduced run-time bugs on unix.
