Hi Stephen,
I answered to your message half an hour ago - but the answer seems to be
lost somewhere :(
Writing the same thing once again...

Sorry, my fault!
I didn't mean to reproach you anything - I just couldn't find the answer
on the list and thought I should better post it again :)

Sorry for misunderstanding you!
I spend so much time on the command port that I probably got
disappointed about not getting it integrated into the trunk.
This said, I would like to point out that the fault is probably mine.
Your comment on the patch-tracker meets exactly the right point:
It is easier to wade thru patches if they deal with a single
topic. Nearly 12,000 lines of code makes for a big patch. Something
this large might be better done as an svn branch.
I would have started on a sized-down rewrite much before had I found
the time to do so.
Hope it is not too late now ... :)
Thanks for your help & efforts :)
Dietrich
