Hi David,

   at best, 'iim' could be an alternative for 'rrr-client' ;
   it is just another rrr client ; it is not a replacement
   for anything.

   If/when 'iim' is tested a little more (and everybody likes it :-),
   then 'iim' could be mentioned on the 'instant mirroring' page
   as an alternative for 'rrr-client'.

   For now, I would just really appreciate some feedback on 'iim'.
