I didn't know about that.  I'll look into it.  It would make things a bit
easier, I think.  Thanks for pointing it out.

BTW for those interested, I hope to put out the first release early next

e-mail support and some documentation yet, but you can check it out at the
subversion repository at svn.complete.org.
