Great! I'm glad that he was around still! Most likely my email wasn't a
high priority, seeing how it wasn't from GNATs.
Re: plist: Ack, sorry, my mistake! This is my first patch that I've sent
in, and I'll be more careful next time. Thanks for covering that. :-)
I look forward to seeing your patches, and learning something from them!
I could have a look at the interactive portions of the installer, and
see if they can be automated. (Please don't take this as a commitment to
send in a patch/PR -- It may take me a while, since I'm still learning!)
Thanks!
Matt
