I've started working on this. However, I've hit a kind of a snag. The current package has 700K+ of diffs (uncompressed), which I think could be avoided by creating a build directory and building in there. Normally, when I'm working on someone else's package, I just make whatever minor revisions are necessary to get things working, and leave it at that. Moving to using a build directory is more than just a minor revision, but I think it could make the package a lot cleaner. So, what do people think? Should I be concervative, or should I assume that since Steve's not responded about this important package in so long that I should act as if I'm adopting it, and thus do whatever I think is best long-term?
