Just in case it saves you some time while debugging... be aware that the
"usual" PVM patch carries a good load of serious bugs which have been
fixed in the PvMegapov version, but these fixes were never backported.
Anyway the principles work (at least for 3.1; we'll see in a few months
how deep the main loop modifications in 3.5 are and thus how impossible
it will be to maintain the patch).
At least it is much better than using external scripting...
