While I don't want to "jinx" it by saying too much, let's
just say that someone has acquired some information on
that route, and once some groundwork has been laid, and
licensing issues approached and settled (since said
information has made it to my hands through not-
entirely-legitimate means), an attempt will be made to
do so.

I'll try to keep close-mouthed on the subject, for the
most part, though, until I actually have code.
