I agree, it is very cool to see everyone working together. I really want
to thank everyone involved, you've done a great job and I think we
should be proud of what we have produced (And it's only getting better
from here on).

I'll look over documentation that will need to be updated and move trunk
over to release tonight. 

And Steve, never say never. The wife and I are planning on going over to
the US to see her family in a not to distant future. One day a confused
swede might be standing on your door step. :-)
