Fortunately (or unfortunately depends how one looks at the situation)
Andre is working in an area that I feel very uncomfortable reviewing.
I haven't ventured into OOP Fortran, and I'm still recovering from my
last encounter with allocate/deallocate code.  I also agree that 
waiting 6+ weeks for approval is a bit long time.  Unfortunately, it
seems evident that we're all too busy with Real Life(tm) at the moment.

PS: Are you going to announce your submodule milestone on c.l.f?
