Well, not sure what the point of that would be, other then to slow you 
down (us working together I mean).  I was just planning a fairly quick 
basic update, but it sounds like you're doing a nice and comphrehensable 
one (back before I was so involved in blender, I remember the 
disappointment of there being no news posted. . . :( ).

Although I'll be happy to help if you'd like, just not sure that I could 
contribute anything.
