Although the patches are good, they do no apply to 1.6.2 cleanly.

They depend on other commits (changes to cmake, addition of util functions)
On top of that they introduce more gcc-4.6 warnings which make it
failt to build from source.
I've looked at it for a little, but it's too much work for now for me.

Clean patch series against 1.6.2 would be highly appreciated (I know
I'm asking too much, but hey it's christmas soon ;-) )
Or for example 1.6.3 release ;-)
