Well, it won't be in a worse shape than right now, you can rest
assured. I'm feeling personally responsable for its state, and I
intend to work on it - as soon as I can. Which, sadly, does not mean
as often as it should :-/
I will be mostly tied up with my RL job until February, when Etch is
(hopefully) out. There are some seemingly quite simple bugs and
features ready to be squished in it, but I prefer to take a good look
before doing that - And I love to have Etch's dh-make-perl in a better
shape than what it is today. Hence the offer/request.
