That's my point. My intention in the beggining was in fact to create a
read-only library. And that's why I'd like to see as soon as possible a
read-capable first version.

By the messages and the status of the code, I understood that support for
R2004 is the bottleneck rigth now, for releasing 0.4, ok? So, if it is so
difficult to solve a bug in this, I would suggest to leave R2004 decoding
ability to a next release, 0.5, for example. Why not? One have to start at
some point.
