You actually got 10%! In all seriousness, it is a valient attempt, and I'm
sure if somebody has some drive they could make improvements to it (and
remove the Windows-like interface, too!). I tried it in the past, and got
varying results. I seem to remember one time when it did a good job (like
around 85%), but the next time I ran it, I didn't get much of anything.
