It still amounts to a 21MB increase in the repository size and I hadn't seen any prior discussion of this in any of the lists I inhabit. A (very) quick rummage through the mailman archives failed to elicit anything either. Based on Mike's response, I understand why it would be difficult to maintain it as a port. It's definitely a worthwhile project and I look forward to seeing the results. Peter
