Great! Do you have an expected timeline? Our quarter also starts in
April, and I'd like a little time to get familiar with the code
myself. I had started doing this with 0.3, but if the changes are
large... Is there a publicly accessible mercurial repository I might
clone?

Okay, good to know. My students mostly won't be using Ubuntu systems,
so if building on other systems is too painful, I may make up a
virtual machine for them to use.

That would be greatly appreciated!
