Thanks, I'll check it out when I got the time.  Should questions, comments,
bugs etc. regarding such experimental packages be directed to you in person
or to the mailing list.

Hmm, I'll try, though I might use the amylaar one =).  I'll notify the
mailing list if I succeed.

(*Big wicked smile*)
Well, atleast I could try.  I read your points in the 'Kernel library'
thread and agree with them (the ones that you don't think special (k/e)funs
that handle special formatting etc. should be in the kernel lib, but in
includable or inheritable lib files).  But 'never shot is always missed' as
we say in the Netherlands.
