	Wow ! Tremendous work !

	I would like you to do two things for me :
	1) Contact Javier Achirica to get his comments on the patch
and get permission on the sourceforge CVS for yourself (if you want
that).
	2) Contact Mike Kershaw (of Kismet fame) who seems to have
been working on airo.c lately.

	I could give that one a spin.

	Keep up the good work !

	Jean
