This is exactly what it should be doing already. Can you post a bug
report with a screen shot if it's not doing that? Maybe there is an
architecture mis-match bug.

Patches welcome! :)

Or also, file your feature request at the bug tracker.

Probably the best way right now is to click "watch" here:
