Absolutely nice work! Thank you very much Carlo and Soren!

Please note that the "macosx" package is out of date and shouldn't be 
part of the download section any more. Some while ago I moved the one 
good file to the audio package and then marked the extra/macosx package 
with the NOINSTALL file. Can you please remove this package from the 
download section?

The same for the "ode" package - this shouldn't be used anymore because 
"odepkg" was born 4 years ago.

I don't know about the "gpc" package but this is marked with the 
NOINSTALL file too and I find it in the download section.

Thanks

   Thomas
