being buried in day-to-day work the last months, I just now completed the preparation for the contribution. I need one or 2 more days to find the best way for contributing (e.g. big patch vs. direct SVN commits). sorry for the delay, but it looks like the above timeline shifted by 1 month. >> Along the same notes we also look into simplifying "vlt" as it is >> sometimes a bit tricky to use :-) This development will start after >> the contribution and we hope to have something usable by end of this >> year. regards, toby
