Yup. :)

So being back on track, if people have a problem with there being no "release",
then I can do up a release of the stuff I ported over to the subversion repository.
The thing is, it'll be hackish, and probably won't build and be useful out of
the box.

I'd love some assistance in making the stuff in the google code SVN repository
"build usefully", including whatever wiki pages can document how people use it.

2c, and back to other things I go..
