Thank you very very much!

  I have not tested the patchy, but by eye-balling  it looks good enough (not counting in that the 
whole concept of added exports others is bad)

Please push to both head and 1.7, although I don't know if there will be some 1.7.1 before 1.8.


Thank you very very much again!
