I think you're probably right. It'd be nice to have this packaged, and of course since it's in contribs that means one of us needs to do it. Since it got moved to contrib because of font issues though, if 1.1.2 is *sweet*, it's probably time to move back to main and be readopted by the mdksoft packagers. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
