Michael, I'd certainly like to take a look at those extensions. (I tried to respond to you off-list, but my mail bounced back. Is this project cursed or am I? :) I hope you're reading this, Michael.) A week has gone by with no replies as to Stephen's whereabouts, and one reply telling me that I can, in good faith, go ahead and release a fork. Unless somebody tells me I should wait longer, I guess I'll do that. Stay tuned for the announcement on when and where my fork will be available.
