I belive that Jacob Carlborg is working on a solution. So, there _is_ work being done on it. By no means does that mean that you shouldn't work on a solution, but it's not the case that no one has been working on the problem - though it is true that it's been being brought up for far longer than it's been being worked on. - Jonathan M Davis
