Mathias,  I think that brief description of how you did this would be 
VERY useful to some of us looking at this problem and not knowing where 
to start.  Perhaps an:  'this is the way it was' and a 'this is the way 
it should be' document would be good.  Or even a list of links to 
'helpful hints' documents.

Thanks!  I really appreciate your efforts on the ports and packages
