Committed to trunk just a few moments ago. If you have any further
remarks, please don't hesitate to say so.

Absolutely, but I've gotten swamped by some other work lately, meaning
I'm just now getting back to usocket and other projects. I'll try to
work on it in the next weeks: there's also the wait-for-input branch
(0.4.x) to work on and get into releasable state.

There's a problem with that branch however: Hans Huebner said that the
wai-for-input function consed too much for ITA to be usefull.

Hans, if you're reading this, could you elaborate? Doug Crosher
submitted ideas for other APIs which would cons less, however, do you
have an analysis of what is wrong with the current API or code?


Bye,

Erik.
