Well, I'm pleased to hear that !

Ok, then let me know if one day you change your mind and decide to add 
new exciting features. I will follow the process with interest!

Actually if I had more time I would certainly bring some help on 
Cowbell, sadly I've not enough freetime for that yet. Plus, I've already 
a little project that I'm supporting, so...
However, I surely can help, overwhelming you under a flood of mails in 
case of silent repository at the end of the week end. I assume we have a 
deal :)


Cheers,
 David
