probably a bit ambitious -- since I'd assume a port of an existing C++
library (rather than trying recode in NewtonScript), but go for it!!

I appreciate the enthusiasm / confidence. however, "continually supported
and new features added" is less true than it once was (nothing new in last

not too difficult (I do have other projects these days), and it won't break
something else...
