	Perhaps I'm in a generous mood today, I read the "feel free
to email me if I can help in this area" more as a question ("Can
I help in this area?").  If so, then I think the answer is "yes,
please help, go do it and send in an Installation Guid and/or
User's Manual".  Given the current state of such docs, don't
expect a lot of hand-holding.  As Felix said, this is a volunteer
project, folks are doing it in their spare time.
