Shared roster item names

I've got ejabberd up and running and am mostly very happy with it and am hoping to migrate from jabberd2 as soon as possible.

My one issue so far: I've set up shared rosters, but the web interface to it only lets me specify the JID of each roster item. So when a user logs in, he sees:

Roster Group
- jid@server.com
- jid2@server.com

...etc. What jabberd2 did, in its template/roster.xml file, was allow you to specify the display name of the roster item as well as the jid, so users would see:

Roster Group
- Person One (jid@server.com)
- Person Two (jid2@server.com)

Is there any way to do this with ejabberd? The forums make mention of a "pushroster" patch to ejabberd-ctl that let you import rosters from a flat file, but the patch is against version 0.7.x and I'm running 0.9.8.

The patches listed on the contributions page are more up-to-date than that on the mailing list ;-)

Okay, cool, I'll try the patch out.

Is there no way to set the roster item names from the web interface? That would be the ideal thing.
