Cool. I was also considering putting in the effort to get this working, as it may become very important to me.. it just depends what i end up doing with myself once i graduate this summer - if i end up getting the laptop, then it's something i'd definitely like to help doing. If you post here if/when you start the work, then i may get involved ;-)
although i wont be able to make any significant contributions before june..
regards,
nick
