I'm glad to hear that people are finding fTools useful. I would be happy 
to have it included in the SVN, however, I think it would need a lot 
more work to get it up to standard.

I am slowly reworking many of the functions, tightening up the code, and 
generally making a more integrated tool. (Future installs should also be 
smaller). However, I would appreciate it if people could send me their 
thoughts, comments, suggestions, and bugs, so that I can fix and find 
things that I may have thought of myself...
