Nothing to continue in my eyes; you can always have more and
iterate over the code of course.  No drag'n drop, of course.  But
copy&paste, that is enough for me.  It used to use GNU autoconf;
i have patches and last i compiled it (a few months ago) it
compiled smoothly (with default CC flags).  I can give you the
patch if you want, just ask.
