Excellent.  Thanks.  I've added your egg to the coop.

It would be nice to have installation instructions on the documentation
(thanks for writing it and adding it to the wiki).

Although the top of the page at http://libnova.sourceforge.net/ mentions
"libnova v 0.16.0", the download section still says that the latest
version is 0.15.0 and points to a download directory that doesn't have
0.16.0.

Having those details documented may save users some time.

By the way, your credentials for the bug tracker can also be used for
the wiki.  Please use it when editing the wiki, so we know that the
edits are not made by spammers.

All the best.
Mario
