Ok, I'll do that then as soon as possible, although I'm afraid it will
take a little bit more of time, since I'm quite busy now with other
matters. Still I'll do my best to do it before the deadline.

That would be awesome, but for the specific case of frogr I think it
wouldn't be much of a hassle to do it manually anyway.

Don't worry. If you (or anyone else) do it then it would be great, but
at least for my case there's no urgency at all on these matters.

Thanks for the feedback,
