It is painfully slow, but it does work very nicely thanks.. It's just
what I wanted.

I added a quick check of an environmental var to decide whether to
skip it all not and all's happy (naturally it is also skipped if the
module isn't installed)

I'll probably add it to all my packages to catch pre-requisites that
are missing.
