I am in direct contact with Blaise Thorn and the last message from him 
was at the beginning of March.

The main problem is that tests are missing and without tests for the 
feature I will not integrate it. Also Blaise has yet to finish the 
remarks I have given them without which I will not integrate this 
either. Not to mention that he has yet to add the GPL header to the unit 
without which my hands are literally tied.
