We'll do our best to make new releases, but... yeah, sadly, things are
never that simple. The 'io' package (which contains the IO related
functions you mention) depends on the 'java' package (for Excel stuff),
which I think is causing troubles with the current development sources.

Yeah, that will be annoying for a while, but it really is a great way to
notice these things :-)

I'll be more than happy to join that choir :-) That being said, I think
the current issue is more related to lack of man power than lack of
integration between the two projects.
