Hi Kevin, Roman,

I didn't get the mail from Kevin for some reason (it appears blank on
my mailer...), but for what I've extrapolated from the discussion it
seems to me that the code can be integrated anyway, and even if
not as is, it can serve as a good basis for your work, why duplicate
code if you have already a working solution?

As Roman said, the code may not be ready for prime time, but it's
definitely a basis for future refinement.

I'm personally quite excited about this opportunity and I'm looking
forward to share my experiences (and confront them) with yours.

Cheers,
Mario
