As I indicated on ask [1], I don't think it was supported until at least r32955
[2]. The original patch was submitted for it via bug 4793 [3], although there
appear to be some updates to it afterwards, such as in r32990 [4], and possibly
others.
Anyway, I don't think the 1.2 branch supports it. If you want to stick with the
stable branch, then I'd recommend downloading the latest (as of this writing)
1.4.6 sources [5], or if you want to try the development branch, then download
the latest (again, as of this writing) 1.5.1 sources [6]. And if you want to
live on the absolute bleeding edge, then download the sources from the
subversion repository (See [7]).
