I've not received any feedback beyond a single mail saying that it was not possible to run (because I'd tested a different version than I committed due to a problem with a PATH setting here), and that some people loved the program based on the description. There isn't any specific limitations that should block playing with it - the main thing I miss for it is that I haven't taken the time to compile a complete testsuite for it yet. The only known "bugs" is that the documentation isn't perfect (I know a number of things I'd like to fix in it, including documenting the options available), and that the options are specific for some commands instead of being general.
