I missed it too, and I agree; it's *very* nice.  It's a hell of a good
start.  I sure hope it's automated, and the idea of interfacing with
c.l.py.a. is a good one--a necessity, I think.

Same thing happened to me.  I thought, "surely he hasn't added my stuff,
no one knows about it."  Too late, there they were.  I'm impressed.

So, who is this person?  I couldn't find any credits.  I need a link to
parnassus in my book, so I'd really like to know.
