Filter patch

[David Koblas]

I'll say it's a 0.5 release of the filters, there may be functionality that 
is impacted.  I haven't done a side by side comparison on a wide enough set 
of messages to know there is no problem.  Also, there were a few expressions 
that while I tried to retain, I'm not 100% sure I understood what cases they 
were used to have test cases for.
