I am not a software programmer either ;-)  (irregardless of the apparent assumptions made 
about me in the past on this List) -- at least not really a "C" programmer (rather, japh-er) but 
I will take a look at this and see if I can fix it. Mind you, I wouldn't hold my breath or base 
my plans for a major product roll-out on my quick success; I have not yet ever tried to build 
`make' from source, so that's the first and possibly not trivial hurdle. Maybe somebody else 
will therefore get there before me, but I thought I'd offer you assurance now that at least 
one pair of eyeballs out here will be looking into this.

    Luck,
     Soren Andersen
