O.K. the patches look good and everything is working here. But I would like to have
some more testers. Would you mind about writing some docs?

Dochdoch, er hat natürlich unbedingt Recht! Wie sollen die armen Leute denn die
ubuntu-Website finden, wenn es noch so viele andere Seiten im Internet gibt. Grad
wenn man da ein wenig systematisch - also alphabetisch - vorgeht! "U" steht ganz
schön weit hinten im Internet, man sollte den Rest dringend ausdünnen. Allein der
Umwelt zuliebe. Wenn man derzeit nur mal versucht bis "B" oder "C" auszudrucken, hat
man schnell mal den ganzen Schwarzwald verbraucht.

Das wird böse enden...

(Falls einer zweifelt: Das ist NATÜRLICH ernst gemeint und wörtlich zu verstehen)
