I'll take a look as soon as I have some time.

Sure, as soon as I find a bit of time, I'll try to cut my ODP down to 
the essentials and submit it.

I knew I had that coming, fair enough :-). I might be able to do that, 
provided that an alpha or beta version doesn't conflict with an

OK, I'll take a look.
