You're a braver soul than I. I started a packaging attempt on it once (long ago), and... well... let's just say I know the insides of the code, and I have known the primary author since well before the project existed, and I will never, ever try to package it again as long as she's the primary author... (In other words, I'm vouching to anyone who wonders that the code is enough to drive anyone seriously insane, and making it sane is no easy task.) -- Joel Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
