Hi Colby;

Thank you for this patch.  The NDT project is an open source project and 
we encourage the community to support and extend this service.  We'll 
pull the patch down and put it in the contrib directory.  That way it 
will be available to the user community.  It also allows us to note 
where the patch came from so we don't claim credit for others work.

We'll also look at applying this patch to the base code.

Regards;
Rich
