Well, it's not like I'm short of work. I do plan on updating the docs
eventually, but right now I'm in ``feature mode'' in the little spare
time that I can scrap together (the API docs should be up-to-date,
actually---at least the tex source file---I don't always rebuild the
docs, but I'll certainly do so for 0.5). Of course, docs is also
pretty ideal for _other_ people to work on (especially man-pages).
All contributions welcome... ;-)

Yes, that's in there. Let me know how it goes (I don't expect it to
work just quite yet, but once I see what is broken, it shouldn't be
hard to fix).
