Hi Kees,

Sorry for the long delay. It's been hard for me to find time to finish this
until the end of February due to job changes (even weekends are busy :( ).

As much as I'd love to get it done as soon as possible, I'm sorry I probably
won't be able to submit the next version until March (maybe mid).

If anyone could help improve this, I'd be very grateful, otherwise I'll have
the next version done by the end of March (as a promise), and also try it in
x86 platform.

Sincerely apologize!

Dan.
