Any way to get rEFIt to show the Recovery HD as one of its normal options

To get ready for Lion, I uninstall rEFIt because I read about supposed incompatabilities. Well, I've seemed to have worked thru Lion's idocyncracies (and moreso Boot Camp"s problems), so I'm ready to add rEFIt back into the mix. Although it installs without problems, a normal boot into rEFIt shows only the Mac and Windows slice of the pie, not the new Recovery HD partition that Lion creates. if I hold down "option" while rEFIt boots, I get an entry called "rEFIt", one for "Windows" and one for the "Recovery HD" (along with my 3 external FW bootable drives). I'd really like rEFIt to list the Recovery HD as part of its normal operation.


Does anyone know how to get rEFIt to recognize the hidden Recovery HD? Maybe a change in a rEFIt script or the Recovery HD partition itself?


Thanks.
