Awesome. I guess the proper way to do this then would be to fork the
project on GitHub? Also are there problems with building on JDK6 (I'm
on a Mac, BTW)? I'm running into heap space issues and tried to
increase the memory via the options in the build.gradle and the
gradlew in the root directory, but it doesn't look like it's being
accepted. I could try building in IntelliJ, but haven't yet.
