Support for 2nd Fan with M106 P1

Hello

i'm producing a few printers. they are dual extruder printers with independend movable printheads (dual-x-carriage)
each Head has an extruder fan and an filament fan. the extruder fans are both connectet together. the filament fans are independent
connected to FETs.
so we need support to activate separatly the fan on the second head.
example:

activate / deactivate fan 0 on T0:
-M106 S255 or / M106 P0 S255
-M106 S0 or / M106 P0 S0

activate / deactivate fan 1 on T1:
-M106 P1 S255
-M106 P1 S0

i spend many hours of trying to get any post processing script to work.
Connecting the two fans together is not a good option.

i hope you can help.
Thanks

You can probably already do this with the scripting options. Just add the P0 for all fan changes when you are using tool 0, then use P1 for anything that is using tool 1.
