I was helping Vittorio last yaer to prepare it for upload.  At the time
we had worked out all major problems and were only dealing with very
minor issues.  I believe Jochen Voss had some more issues as well.  In
any case, the package should be nearly uploadable.  I'm a little busier
these days than I was last year, but I can still sponsor this package if
no one else is up for it.
