Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, I wouldn't go calling anything I posted a solution now :)

The main part (etc/separate) is up to you, I am just passing on the idea. I
have seen posts from time to time on this subject, and for all I know 4.9/5
has it built in, it seems like 4.9/5.0 has everything but the kitchen sink.
You may want to do a little more searching on the archives, and in 4.9/5
itself.
