        I'd like to add that GNU mifluz is used by the htdig-3-2-x
branch, although the version is not too recent (6 month old). I was
supposed to work on the update last week. However the Debian packaging
of other software kept me busy more than I thought. I'll try to start
the merge next week but given the fact that I take 3 weeks holiday 
(from 25 July to 13 August) I would not be on the fact that I can really
succeed :-}

        I sent a mail to Paul Vischer to ask him if he had all the 
information needed to create the account for you. Hopefully he will have
time to create it soon. If not I will arrange an ssh account on gnudist
in the meantime to enable you to work on the upgrade.

        Although it may be desirable I would advise you not to explore
this territory now. This feature is rarely used and was not well tested
in 3.2. Exploring the current setup and parameters of the installed
htdig on gnudist will require quite a lot of attention, my guess is that
if you try to do both at the same time you'll run into troubles ;-)

        Cheers,
