Yes, I agree with this. My mail wasn't so much meant to critize the
existing code (like you say: it does what it is designed for...) but
to encourage others to think about developing a leaner, more tightly
integrated version for Linux. I think it would be a nice challenge to
see what could be done in this area, but it would definitely be a
non-trivial project.
