Might be complicated to add but it is for sure something we need. I cannot promise anything for pkg 1.4 which is in freeze time but I'll try = to see what I can do. regards, Bapt --jo46wx5DSA4a/gWG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlRRifIACgkQ8kTtMUmk6ExtYQCfRPaJGnBVyt89IXjLL4Qp4YkW QLQAn2ZP/mx9RL6MnyE6ZO9x512Hx+Hz =x5qm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jo46wx5DSA4a/gWG--
