You can never have too many projects :-)

It depends.  I think that Andrew and I would have to see the code and
discuss with you how it may fit inside Albatross or as an optional
add-on to the main package.

Does this seem like a good approach to you?

We are trying to keep the toolkit small and modular.  If what you are
offering adds too much to the toolkit we might have to decide whether
we like a small toolkit more than we like your code :-).

Cool.
