   True. I can do simple C-stuff, and I can tinker around even, until I get   
   stuff to compile. But as soon as it gets above beginner level, things get

   Fortunately Eduardom, the current maintainer, is very approachable and   
   even answers here in the news group. So on more than one occasion he has   
   helped me with a patch and advice. That in itself, is worth its weight in   
   gold!
