[quoting the whole mail so chmspec-devel subscribers get all the info]

Thanks for the info!

I'll have a go at integrating this information on the weekend, if you
could attach a patch to the patch tracker, that would expedite things:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?group=chmspec&func=additem

In future, please send stuff you find out to the chmspec-devel list:

http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chmspec-devel

On a side note, I got an email from one Boaz Haberman, who is interested
in getting hhm producing full and proper CHMs, instead of just the
container format. Anyone else who is interested in that, I'll be setting
up a development CVS (or maybe SVN) branch for it soon.
