Hmmm, nearly 10 years ago... Not easy to remember. Especially since I
changed workplace since then and I don't have access to the development
resources from that time. But from what I do remember, the source is
partly copied from the CoLiLo project. So Jeremy is correct.

Jeremy, I'm sorry that I didn't acknowledge your work while "borrowing"
from your sources. Please send a patch to the list to add yourself to
the CREDITS file.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan Roese
