It sounds as if Chin might be a little like me. I am reluctant to
release source code unless it's pretty clean. I don't want folks to see
the hacks I did to get it working. :)
If this is the reason for the prolonged delay, I hope Chin can relax
a little and release it in less than perfect shape. After all, it
works very well, and if there are a few not-so-pretty areas in the
source, that's something almost every programmer does.
