Yes, I know :)

Yes, Arvid did suggest this... I haven't had time to get around to
this yet, and have grant applications to write, so don't expect
anything before early March... (it should be easy enough, and if you
want to do the CDK community a favor...)

It is in production use in Bioclipse... with the current reviewing
system, everything that goes in is pretty stable, likely more stable
then what went in before CDK 1.0...

CDK 1.2 would already be an important step forward, but CDK 1.3 has
the new JChemPaint code as patch, which 1.2 lacks...

It's only the API that is less stable... but again, since every change
is peer-reviewed, the rate of API changes is not too high... the first
few iterations are now hidden in pre-peer review branches :)

Cool! Good luck with that! Give me a ping when there is something final to read!
