Hi Simon and Thierry,

Thanks for your comments. Yes, I thought that the ticket would need
some more work and I guess the incentive is not so high as long as
there are quite comfortable ways to do these things by hand as pointed
out by Thierry. I just thought that this might be a good one for a
student project or so...

Cheers
Stan
