Ooh - believe me - you don't want to see the code as it is now. Yuk! Needs
some major cleanup (esp. after the hacking I've done to make it work with
Jython). No way I would check something that disgusting in where other
people could see it ;)

Unfortunately, I'm really busy right now. Maybe I'll get to spend some time
on it over my 2-week break coming up.

Plus as I said, I need to check with my employer - it has been partially
developed on company time, and for a company project. Maybe I can get it
into my goals and objectives ;)

I should use the sandbox though. Unfortunately, I can't compile 2.3 at home
... MinGW still doesn't work, and I don't have a BSD or Linux box set up
(the only available machine is currently serving as my internet gateway
until I fix another machine).
