[Uni-verse] Orange deliverable

[Lauri Savioja]

Hi Ton,

Thanks for the report! I am very happy to read that the Orange
deliverable will cover that many aspects. From a Uni-Verse point of
view it will get better and better each time you mention a different
tool/result of the _Uni-Verse_ project :-).

Regards,
	Lauri
