I will fully work with anyone on this matter in the project, I just didn't think it was brought to your attention that I had started something, and will continue to do so. At the moment im busy trolling the FreeBSD mailing list archives looking for ideas. Something has come up in the past moments that I have to work on, but I will continue to work on this project. Maybe we should have an IRC dicsussion?
