Great, I've been waiting for this. (I almost started to begin the port
myself, but if you're doing it, I doubt I could do better)

are they so new as to not being available on simtel yet? (nov 9, all
other packages have been there since nov 5 (I noticed the others

And by the way, are you also going to upload it to CTAN (like the
previous version?), or do you wait until you're sure you "didn't blow
it big time"?
