Can you please elaborate on that? What needs to be done, and how is that going to be done? It might be possible to avoid considerable uglification. I'm not altogether sure there. The parsing state machine is all written in C, and deals with signed chars - I expect we'll need two versions of that (or one version that's compiled twice using pre-processor macros). Quite a large job. Suggestions gratefully received.

I'm still trying to understand what needs to be done - I would move to how this is done only later. What APIs should be extended/changed, and in what way?

Regards, Martin
