Hello Sven,
i am NOT talking about removing the current version. I am just
suggesting a slimmer version in addition.
Slimming the code making The Bat! smaller would not be to save HD
space! :) Slimmer code often makes things faster and saves resources.
That is what I want: Performance, a GT model of The Bat! for those
that do not need a "luxury car".
