That was my assumption. From my perspective, the open-source shoehorn is
ultra-low priority, given that
a) the engine very obvously has top priority, and
b) you need some time off sometime, too, and
c) since it won't include IE, so its usefulness is limited, and
d) it wouldn't be *that* hard to recreate it from scratch if it were
   direly needed.

Don't take c) as criticism. I know why the ActiveX version will not be
available, I agree with the reasoning behind it, and its fully mitigated
by d). Doing d) with the java version source available will be lots
easier but without it's only more work, by no means impossible.
