+From 2a1c09fea76b3a1e696d9bb82c46e6c64ec574f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Simon Feltman <sfeltman@src.gnome.org>
+Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:43:23 +0000
+Subject: Change interpretation of NULL pointer field from None to 0
+
+The usage of 0 is needed because these fields should generally
+be used to store integer indices or hashes, not necessarily
+pointers to actual data.
