I lack the knowledge/time to implement it, but I think it's at least worth documenting it. -- Florian Friesdorf <flo at chaoflow.net> GPG FPR: 7A13 5EEE 1421 9FC2 108D BAAF 38F8 99A3 0C45 F083 Jabber/XMPP: flo at chaoflow.net IRC: chaoflow on freenode,ircnet,blafasel,OFTC -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
