Well, I think I do have to comment on this. The sentence above was definitely
not meant for general distribution and was maybe a bit too enthousiastic from
my side. I am discussing things of this nature with SGI but let us say at the
moment that SGI "might" do this. Note however that I only was talking about
supply, not modify, extend, etc.

By the way, release 1.4 will be out by the end of this week. Fully compatible
with 1.3 this time but with some extensions and bugs removed.
