Treetool seems a nice and usefull tool...

The debian package has a giant patchset (even though the debian maintainer
seems to be the upstream maintainer). So it seems to me that one should 
coordinate with them. I don't really want to become the xview maintainer
since I don't use it, but I could have a look at it and try to produce
something by te end of week (unless somebody else is interested).
