It's been in the works for about 2 yrs. The first problem was a design that
would survive for several yearz. When that was handled the next problem
was getting the money to pay the people while they wrote it. Harald Welte
who was going to do it, thought he was getting funding last year but at
the last moment, the money fell through. What's needed now is money
for 4 months salary for Marald (or someone to do it for free).
