THANKS! This is (or will be, once I get it down-loaded and installed)
great!

Are you considering putting it into a port? If not, I think I'd like
to do so (still in my copious free time). Do you see any problem with
making it a port? 

Whether the mWave code could be included in the base system, I can't
say, but it's of sufficiently limited interest that it's probably
better placed in the ports tree, anyhow.

Thanks again!
