Many thanx for replying to my mail.

Yes I did try. But I'm not fluent at all with C (I speak Python), and
could'nt apply most part of patches, even by hand.

Yes I did. "clean" seems, from my lazy chair, a simple operation. Sorry if I
made a mistake on this.
I know pretty well open-source communities, and I know it's not easy (read :
boring) to have an external guy claiming for a feature. I wish I could help
more :(

If I'm the one supposed to complain, I'm really you felt that :( I never
thought my reply would be counter-productive. I'm really willing to help :(

Once again, if I can do anything to help, I will.

Thanx.

Olivier.
