Sounds good to me.  Do I understand correctly that I'd just have to
add one or two files to the C++ source code as it is now?  Then you
should just send them and I'll make a new release.  (And maybe you
should provide some text which can be added to the README file.)

BTW, note that I just returned from vacation (earlier than expected)
and will be in Boston next week, so you'll probably have to wait a bit
until this'll actually happen.

Cheers,
Edi.
