Groovy; I'll take a look.

Yeah, the only problem with that is that I, unfortunately, am going to
die in another 50 years, which means that the list of stuff which I can
spend time on is, of necessity, and unfortunately, finite.  I'd rather
not trade running for President for scrounging through undocumented
source code in the big zero-sum game of life.

I'm happy to do the take-the-printout-to-the-Carribean-and-scan-it-in
export-control-evading song and dance; in fact, I've been looking for
a project on which I can do just that.  This is something I want to write,
and I will almost certainly write it in the US.

Gotcha.  Thanks.
