Well, I'm still not done yet. Mostly because I've moved from one residence
to another, and that took a lot of time. I'm not stuck on anything 
technical, just social, currently. I'll try to find time to work on it
very soon. 

Also, the basic interface is finished, I'm just writing the test suite for it
so I can prove it actually works and to make it easier to validate it if the
MP interface changes or gets revved.

I'll release a 0.0.0 version right now, so you guys can play with it and
give me some feedback. I didn't document the things left to do formally--I
figure I'll fix the documentation in the next revision. Basically,
type make after untarring it. :)
