[Yury A. Bychkov]

Hi Ferdinando,

Keep in mind that the code is still very raw and parts of it may not compile
(mainly because there are a lot of interdependencies and a lot of it is still
not done). If you have any errors (platform related or otherwise) or want me to
change some code just send me an email.

Yury
