Wow, that looks quite cool!

No modifications allowed? :( (Still downloading, can't check myself).

Couldn't access the later one, nut upstream tarball from sourceforge
seems to contain everything needed to compile it for linux... except
that you need to run dos2unix over autogen.sh, config.sub and
config.guess.

Acutally... that isn't enough... I think a package, with diff resulting
of an "find -type f -exec dos2unix {} \;" would get rejected by
ftp-master ;)

But least it compiles now.


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
