Hey Jean, hey everybody.

as usual, after a few days (hours only?) of quilt activity, I'm diving
in my professional TODO list. I'm really sorry about this. Your remarks
are good, and I'll redo that patch to integrate them. One day :(

I still read the list, but nothing more since ... too long. I'm still
willing to help, but really short on time. I hope that the situation
will improve in a month or two (since 2 years).

Sorry about this,
Mt.
