I'd like to say I've got a bit more time in there to do some stuff, but
sadly the record, and reality, says otherwise :-(. Should anyone step
up to become the official maintainer I'm happy to have my name bumped
off, and occasionally throw some help in.

Right now my ZM setup is completely broken (combination of SW and HW
probs). I really would like to get it running again, and will probably
spend a bit of serious time over Christmas looking at it. If things are
still as they are now, I almost certainly *will* push "one last release"
then.
