Well, since I'm almost working alone with this, and only doing it in my
spare-time, it's probably going to take some time =) After all, GNU
Sysutils takes a lot of my time as well. Oh, and believe it or not,
sometimes I even try not to use my computer (I have recently purchased
the complete set of Monty Python's Flying Circus, so I spend some time
in front of the TV as well)...
Anyway, I'll do my best. It's nice to know my work isn't completely
wasted.
