I hope you enjoyed the stay in the bar and will bounce the mail to the
other address (in copyright).

For the moment it is about cleaning up the code and I'm personally keen
on helping this effort to demonstrate that biologists do not just throw
dirty stuff into Debian but care for their packages quickly and
reliably.  IMHO this will help increasing the acceptance of very
specialised and low pocpcon software in our interest.  Additionally
Clang seems to gain more and more interest in general and starts to
become a serious competitor to gcc.

Cool!  I just noticed your commits and did some first steps into getting
it straight into Debian.  I'm a bit worried about the JS files which are
considered as "binary without source" by ftpmaster.  I'll see what I can
do to relax the situation.

Thanks for your commits

      Andreas.
