I went rather quiet since I had nothing new to add to the discussion. 
But I did plan to get somewhere before FOSDEM (next month) so I could at

as I've little time for it and no BDI2000/etc. at home :-)

It's absolutely broken and needs fixing - perhaps if someone wants to 
work with me on it, we'd get it sorted more quickly.

Cheers,

Jon.
