Re: State of the project?

Arnaud Desitter has been fairly active fixing bugs and enhancing 
functionality over the last couple years.  Thank you, Arnaud!  If you have 
an interest in contributing, that would be welcome.

You can pull down fresh sources and built it anytime.  I was a desktop 
Linux user for a year or so there and found, for most projects of interest, 
waiting for a package for my distro was pointless.  It was almost always 
better to just build it from sources.  The same approach works fine on 
Windows - as long as you have a compiler.

Now, as for my Tidy wrappers (tidywrap.sf.net) ... these have all suffered 
terribly from bit rot.  Fork my wrappers project, please!  Or, better, just 
take it over.
