It's difficult to make any promises at this point but I think what I can 
do is
follow this discussion thread more closely (Initiated by Achima of 
course :-)
and take notes. Then from what I gather, I can draft an "inside BPL"
documentation. How does that sound? I think such an initiative will give
me further insights into the library which I *too* really need to have now.
