I think it's kind of hard for me to see why I should maintain a package that's already been discarded by its developer. In my opinion such packages should be moved to [unsupported] where the one more two people who might want to use them can simply build them themselves. --Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/
