Your solution sounds exactly like what I wanted to do insterad of the -w
option handling, but I was missing necessary documentation to do it.
Please send me your code so I can check it out. It will certainly be
put into the Clarkson drivers, unless there are some serius drawback
(but I wouldn't expect so).
