Comment 3 for bug 1551090

So, I had a look at this today, and Chris's additions work. I took the liberty of squashing his branch into 1 commit, signed off, and added a commit for the README changes.

I squashed because it was easier to work with the branch that way. If you don't like it, check out Chris's original branch and cherry-pick the branch listed below:
