If I remember correctly patches for a few of these filters have been
sent to the list over the past couple months.  Some of them might
require some love for the ever changing beagle, but might want to
check the list archives so instead of doing unnecissaray work.

For those of you who want to do some beagle hacking but havn't yet,
creating a filter is fairly simple and a great place to start.  More
info about coading filters can be located on the wiki:
