Hey Remi,
I've started working on it the other day, but unfortunately had
difficulties with my development environment after suffering a hard drive
failure.
Haven't tried again since then.
I've opened a quick bpo - 40886.
Since my dev environment is still messed up and VStudio kills me with
obscure error messages, you're welcome to give it a go :-)
Thank you for being awesome!
