Do we have any pointers as to where the code goes? I don't know how to
find our way around the code, but if we can get a pointer to where it
needs to go, someone can perhaps do something about it. But it's
probably as much work for the mj2 folks to tell us where to put it as it
would be for them to put it there themselves :-)
