Thought I'd chime in as the current "maintainer" for these modules.
(along with any other module that doesn't get attention from others ;-)

Either way is fine with me. I'll probably do releases on a regular basis

in these libs too. Behdad's patches to fix printing black squares being
the most prominent the last cycle :-)

Just my 2 pence.
