Hi Kristian,

I've attached the patch since the patch I sent through git send-mail was
sent through an e-mail account that isn't subscribed to this list (waiting
for moderator approval), and to make sure the spacing isn't munged again.
 This patch was generated against weston master as of this morning.

Sorry for the churn.
-Ossama
