Hi Teemu,

I was unaware of your preliminar work.  I knew you intended to work on it,
though [1].

Needless to say, I'd be glad if we can work together.  I marked the bug as
RFP because I wouldn't have time to maintain freecad all on my own.

I'll check your package, compare it with mine, and see if anything I wrote
is worthy of being merged with your tree.

[1] Leo put me on CC on a ping mail sent a while ago, but I received no
    reply.
