I'll try to find it (it was about 80% done) but I'm not sure it survived the clean-up sessions of my tmp/work dir (I don't know why I didn't ci it in our cvs ...). I'll work with Ady if he need help. Ady, BTW, after we have the port and, with some test cases provided by people that run it, can we hope for any kind of (semi-)official support ? -- IOnut - Un^d^dregistered ;) FreeBSD "user" "Intellectual Property" is nowhere near as valuable as "Intellect"
