Conceptually, it's not that hard. THere are a couple bottlenecks -- for
example, the second click module would have to be installed under a
different name, and would have to register its handlers under /proc/click2
or something. I was just saying that we can't do it now. If someone were to
explain convincingly that we SHOULD be able to do it now, we could make the
necessary changes.
