There's clearly work in progress here, and there is no pretense
that what we have is a complete and satisfactory solution.  Certainly
what was in place beforehand wasn't.  There clearly are broken
links, but we'll work to fix those ASAP.   I don't have any real reason
to believe that the very dated libraries I had in place were in use
by anyone.  What Alan has done with packaging them is much more useful.

I don't like it either, but there's a world of difference between
expressing opinions on things which have happened (your response here)
and starting out with vindictive and overweening accusations based
upon things which are far from accurate.  Ironically, it's just
such views that druck has been highly critical of on usenet.  If
he wants to vent his spleen over something which could have been
resolved with a simple email, then he can do it elsewhere.

Ultimately, I can't contribute in such an environment, and I'm confident
that whatever I do, not everyone is going to agree.  As much is true
almost every OSS project involving more than one person.

At such time he agrees to behave in a more becoming manner, certainly.
