This seems roughly what I would need.  I applied your patches and added
IN_MODIFY since I need that too.

I have a new version which compiles with those patches and has the match
type.  It is not sending the notification correctly, I am not sure if it 
is my
fault or not.  Modify does not work at all, and delete just passed through
a mask of 0.

Once these changes are in head, I will have more of an effort to fix them.

All that needs to be done is make the action options atomic, which might
be messy.  I do not think that it is the cause of the problem with wall, but
Ill have a go.  Actions are working for everything except that one.
