Wow... there's so much grown code in this project that it quite frankly scares me (20k lines of perl code... yikes). I need to look into implementing a clean design with my ballista rewrite in python, because the lack of modularity and the number of gcc-isms and linux-isms in this isn't really super portable. But that's several months or maybe a year down the line. Thanks, -Garrett
