No objection from here.

I've attached my most recent copy to this mail. I'm not sure
how to write the regr. test though since output is dependent
on the platform running the functions... perhaps I'll just
add something like the audio thingie: "This string ought
to identify the platform you are currently running... if not,
then something is wrong ;-)".
