Yes it does.  I'm not sure which is which now either.  I remember that
I did much of the work on a v2 release, and Paolo did something very
similar but we each did the work independently of the other.  There is
some reconciling to be done there too.

I have my very latest (i.e. 3 years old) version on disk here if anyone
would like a copy to cherrypick...

I assigned copyright when I released the work into Autogen, and have
the papers at home somewhere.  It should be listed in the relevant
files on fencepost too.
