Hey, that's great. I don't have any time to help on this, but if you
come up with some sort of system I will adapt the b29, Canberra and
possibly the Colditz glider to follow it. BTW, how come the Colditz
never made it into CVS, IIRC it's GPL, and I personally thought it was a
pretty neat little project. Anyway...
