    Mauritz,
    
    Work has been proceeding on the book, and it is currently in technical
    review. I believe the version of the book in Short Cuts is identical to
    the version being reviewed.
    
    I think the book is getting pretty close, though that will of course
    depend of the results of the technical review.
    
    Thanks for the pointer to the sourceforge requests. I was unaware of
    them, but I will look at them now.
    
    Best Regards,
    Dick
