This has already been done, and is working in my current code tree. Ian 
Main actually did the work.

Work on Gzilla is going very slowly these days because my wife and I just 
bought a house and are presently packing in preparation for the move. 
However, the move-in date is the 14th, so with luck, Gzilla development 
should pick up after that.

It's nice to know, though, that are development priorities are in tune 
with user desires!
