Now that the original maintainer Alan "Cal" Calvert has passed away (as
mentioned in a other thread and elsewhere
(http://tributes.couriermail.com.au/obituaries/couriermail-au/obituary-preview.aspx?n=alan-ernest-calvert-cal&pid=152381356&referrer=2794)

It might be good if Yoshimi gets a new maintainer, it a very valuable
project. http://yoshimi.sourceforge.net/

A other possibility might be to merge the changes in Yoshimi back to
Zynaddsubfx. http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/
