Marin, to begin with, I'd like to thank you for the work you've done so far. It's tedious and not something people usually want to do, and yet it's important. But please, learn from experience and don't try to overengineer. Keep it simple, limit yourself to cleaning the code, not making it more complicated (and then dirtier) than it could be. -- Richard Braun
