+Subject: [PATCH] Restore compatibility with Prettytable < 0.7.2
+
+Starting with 0.7.2, PrettyTable changed default on how empty
+tables are rendered. Before they were completely ommitted, now
+the default is to show the table headers and decoration, just
+no content. Restore the previous behavior to stay compatible.
