i've dug around the source a bit. tbh, the exclusive use of perl makes it a pretty big barrier for contribution, and so it's unlikely i'll be able to offer anything substantial. i was barely able to get it running using the incomplete/buggy README instructions. i'm not asking/suggesting it be rewritten in a diff language of course as i grok the long history and such. just explaining why it's unlikely i'll be sending any useful code patches.
