I donwloaded 0.15 about a month ago, then I see this utility need lot of
upgrade. I didn't checked CVS. I think 0.15 as the version number say
require lot of improvement. I total agree with you. I will help you If I
can. For example localisation (Hungarian). There are any way to download
precompiled CVS based binaries? You should put to donwload section.
