Hello Chris,

I shall work on this bug, thank you for the report.

As wims upstream sources are a kind of gordian knot, I already worked a
lot on their packaging. So, as your argument "stuff like [...] is not
cool" sounds pretty short, please write at your choice one or two
reasons why this is not cool. This may give me more courage to put this
work on top of my work heap.

Best regards,                   Georges.

P.S.: I agree with you, it is not cool ;)
