Hey, that's good news. I was a bit worried that some incompatible 
changes might have broken the code in the mean time (since it was never 
integrated into the official build).

Sounds good to me! I'm only going to get a small amount of time to work 
on this in the next month or so, and I've got to get my local build 
working on my new system. After that I should be able to spend a bit 
more time on this and get something ready for review. Any help along the 
way would be appreciated!

The diagrams are in SVN as .PNG files, so you should be able to see them 
if you do the right svn operations on a working copy of the repository, 
but I guess they're not going to work via the SVN web interface. Anyway, 
for convenience I've uploaded the docco onto my website for now 
(unchanged from back in 2004):

I've also found the original Visio sources for the diagrams in an 
archive of mine, but don't have a working copy of Visio any more (I've 
migrated to Mac). I'll see what I can do about turning these into .svg 
files or some other open standard. Any suggested formats?
