 Are you sure about that? I was able to build mol with module-assistent
back in the days, has that seriously changed?

 I guess part of the missing interest in MOL is the lack of support for
OSX 10.5 - it only supports it up to 10.4. I only found out about this
after I did finish the upgrade process about two years ago, and since
didn't notice any progress on these grounds.

 Sorry to see it go nevertheless. Was fun.
