Calling all brave souls with X-10 CM11A computer interfaces!

I've just uploaded a new SqueezeCenter7 "alpha" release of
PowerCenter[0] that should add support for an additional X10 computer
interface.
http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/BottleRocket/

CAVEAT: I have not tried this software with a CM11A myself! I've only
just built software that *sounds* like a good fit (http://heyu.org/),
including (even more of a reach here) making some small changes in
order to build a Windows version.

Anyone currently using BottleRocket with SC7 who wants to switch
should
1) shut down SC7
2) find your SC7 prefs/plugins folder
3) copy (or rename) BottleRocket.prefs to PowerCenter.prefs
4) open PowerCenter.prefs and change any instances of the phrase
"BottleRocket" to "PowerCenter" -- you should only have that in one or
two spots, in reference to the 'br' or 'br.exe' apps that are included
with the plugin

To use a CM11A controller, change the 'br'/'heyu' path from 'br.exe' to
'heyu.exe' or 'br' to 'heyu'.

Please, please, please let me know if you're able to try out the new
'heyu' support. I haven't yet talked myself into spending $15 to buy
one myself, as my CM17A firecracker is working fine. :-)

[0] Yes, "PowerCenter". I first named the plugin BottleRocket when it
only supported X10 "Firecracker" controllers using the Linux 'br'
BottleRocket utility (http://www.linuxha.com/bottlerocket/). Thanks to
Greg Brown of SuperDateTime and SiriusRadio fame
(http://gregbrown.net/), all the SC7 releases, and the last unofficial
SlimServer 6 releases have supported Insteon software. With the new
Controller interface
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41482) and now,
hopefully, support for another X10 controller that does not use the
'br' utility, a more general name seems appropriate.
