Hanz's last name must have been Schmidt, as before one "MacGyvered"
something, one "Schmidted" it, in the sense of improvisational engineering.
 Of course there is the old Jerry-rigging, often corrupted into
jury-rigging.

As described earlier, perhaps Hanz-ing implies a higher level of the art
than some of these other terms.
