We'll see. I've managed to do the buffered output and listing (just 
committed that, test suite in the works) today. So I'm left with 
aggregations, which should not take more than a full day. Default 
handlers will be trivial. So the only question is - how long will it 
take to do proper process handling.

You're the expert - I can be only happy to get it done by you. 
Especially that I already got quite rusty with autohell... I had 
problems with supporting my old autohell code last week :/

Looking forward for this. Then I'll do aggregations tomorrow, so this 
may lead to a real beta release shortly :)

I thought of just copy-pasting the wiki page and transforming formatting 
with a bunch of regexps. If you've got the spare time to do it better
- you're welcome.
