That's just plain amazing, you rock!!

That's soo soo cool!

Without having look at the code, but as people already asked about
integrating in D-L, a first approach would be to be able to generate
URL's that already have all the info, so something like:

http://deckard.malizor.org/?module=alacarte&locale=ca_ES&file=...

you get the idea, right? :)

Thanks *a lot* for this amazing tool!!

Cheers,
