Yep, looks like that.

Indeed :) As I said, my grepping did return a few false-positives, I 
cleaned up most of them, but missed this one.

Anyway, the patch was incomplete, and perhaps it would be better to split 
it into a series of patches - one per top-level directory to reduce merge 
conflicts. So, maybe someone with better UTF8 and grep / English grammar 
skills could take this over, I won't be requiring any credit for this :)

Thanks
