   Hmmm - what is wrong with the vanilia castor library ? And what is 
changed in the one you distribute ? If that's a bug in castor, this may 
be fixed easily.

   If the git repository is publicly accessible, then just hand over the 
address, and I'll handle the rest. I don't need an official release, 
just somewhere where I could get the code. Why do you want to perform 
code formatting ? If you just publish the repository, formatting can 
wait for an official release.

   I guess packging vamsas and then moving directly to 2.7 and to main 
is a good idea. I'll have a look at jswingreader.

   Cheers,

        Vincent, confident that we are getting reasonably close now...
