Sorry for all the late responses.

Just to sum the things up:

1. Gwenael, I would be really glad to invite you personally to join
KGuitar team if you're willing to continue development. Please tell me
your SF login so I can grant you R/W access to primary KGuitar CVS, so
you can improve things there, without unnecessary forking. We're open to
any innovations.

2. I did a pretty working (at least from my point of view, though it's
*much* more to do there, but it works for most file I've encountered)
GP4 loader and it's already even in the last release KGuitar version.
Please, take a look at that code, I think it's pretty extendable and
commented to get on with it.

If we *really* need to support GP3 - I'm all hands up for this
initiative, but please, let's not fork and re-write all the same stuff
we're working on. Supporting GP3 in fact is pretty easy: there are just
a few tweaks need to be done to existing GP4 loader.

For all you Guitar Pro reverse engineering folks: do you know that there
is already a project that did all the hard work and wrote all the GP
specs - it's DGuitar (http://dguitar.sourceforge.net/), and it _already_
works pretty well with total majority of Guitar Pro v2, v3 and v4 files.
