It appears that I am allowed to give myself permission to release things, so 
here we go. Attached is a unified diff, which you can apply with the patch 
programme. Alternatively, it's human-readable so you can apply the changes 
using your favourite text editor as well.

The legal stuff (I know, it's almost longer than the patch itself and the 
patch may not even be copyrightable, but I always prefer to keep legal issues 
overly clear. You never know when someone will start making wild claims about 
the origins of your code.): This code was written by me as an employee of the 
University of Amsterdam, and I'm releasing this under the ClearBSD licence, 
which is now OpenLayers' licence if I understand correctly. Before it can be 
included in the general release I'll need to know from the OL developers if 
they would like to have it, and if so I'll need to get a contributor 
agreement sorted.
