Dear readers,

Sorry for being slow, I'm clogged up in other stuff, and have been - and  
there's been no time to look into the bigger issues that require reading  
heaps of code.

WRT the decision, that is easily made, (3) is the desired result, let's  
merge and fix things.

I think (1) would possibly turn the less knowledgable (non-programmer)  
part of the target group away, and is not desirable.

I'm afraid this posting isn't overly helpful yet, and I'm also afraid that  
the blame is on me (obviously, for (1) insufficient documentation of the  
source code that caused this incompatibility and (2) my slow response).

Sorry again
