Thanks, Marcin, for noticing this. I am currently not able to follow
all mailing lists or even my privat mails. As soon as I've a little
time I'll write to the author (and CC: Klaus Knopper) to ask for the
sources and some other things.

I personally am not suspicious here, but I am aware that this my
attitude could do more damage than yours. Suspicion can be easily
removed, while inflicted damage because of lightmindedness can't....

I hope to find someone with expertise and time to look into the code,
and maybe help the author (he seems to be asking for it).
