Hi Francis,

the current code is IMO not flexible enough and even more important it =
is Thomas' code and I see legal problems in just copying the code. So in =
order to avoid legal problems and to improve code quality I would like =
to see a new implementation based on the initial idea but with improved =
capabilities.

Benjamin, you have send some work on that. What do you think?

Regards
Rainer
